Property Description

Exquisite European Custom Home Adjacent to Providence Country Club Welcome to this extraordinary European-inspired custom home in the coveted Vanderbilt neighborhood—just a short walk to Providence Country Club and minutes from Waverly, Rea Farms, and Blakeney. From the moment you arrive, the gas lanterns and hand-carved mahogany double doors set an unmistakable tone of elegance and craftsmanship. Step inside to discover detailed millwork, designer lighting, and architectural accents that define luxury throughout. The cozy dining room features built-in storage, while French doors lead to a flexible room that can serve as an office, wine room, or intimate sitting area. The grand two-story great room is filled with natural light from expansive windows and anchored by a gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. Graceful arched openings connect the great room to the gourmet kitchen and breakfast area, creating a warm and open flow perfect for entertaining or casual living.

Eight-foot doors and site-finished hardwood floors span the main level, complemented by a beautifully designed laundry room with custom built-ins and tile flooring. Ascending the staircase, you’ll find an open landing overlooking both the foyer and great room, filling the space with light and architectural presence. Two generous bedrooms on this level each offer ensuite baths, prefinished hardwood flooring, and walk-in closets. A secondary staircase leads to a versatile fourth bedroom or bonus suite complete with its own ensuite bath, pre-finished hardwood floors, and tile in the bath, plus a large walk-in storage area—ideal for guests, hobbies, or media use. Plantation shutters enhance both privacy and elegance. The backyard is an inviting outdoor retreat featuring a large gazebo—perfect for entertaining friends or enjoying quiet evenings at home.
