36 Oakridge Court

Description

Guided by the principles of the British Arts and Crafts movement, this Max Hayden-designed home in The Preserve showcases a level of artistry and attention to detail that is rarely seen in residences built today. While an abundance of warm wood paneling and moulding lend a refined air to every room, the spaces still feel bright and buoyant thanks to impressively high ceilings, pocket French doors and just their sheer size. The foyer sets the tone with handmade tiles, a hefty mantel atop a two-sided fireplace and a carved newel post anchoring a staircase worthy of a grand English estate. Rooms for entertaining are large enough for a banquet-sized guest list with au courant fixtures and designer touches that wow. Large windows fill the family room with light, as well as a "winter garden" walkway that leads to the main suite. Walk-in closets, a loft-like study and private access to the lower level gym make this wing a comprehensive retreat. The opposite wing, connecting to the extra large kitchen, houses all the hardest-working spaces: walk-in pantry, laundry, computer nook, mudroom and the handy back stairs. There are 4 upper suites, some with luxe marble bathrooms, some with walk-in closets, all with a quality of distinction. With a full bar and multiple hangout spaces, the walk-out lower level is a magnet for all ages.
