The homes at Walker’s Hill each sit on over an acre of manicured grounds and offer 4,684 SF+/- in living space. The five-bedroom, 4 full- and 2 half-bathroom homes are enhanced by a 923 SF+/- attached 3-car garage with radiant heating and by covered porches in both the front and rear and an optional finished basement. An outdoor shower is perfectly placed and creates a spa-like retreat amidst the peaceful landscape.
A curated selection of the finest building materials include: Dover grey synthetic slate roof, white Maibec cedar shingles, natural granite and bluestone walkways and terraces, and an oil & stone native gravel drive lined with steel edges.
Floor-to-ceiling Lincoln windows and doors define the façades and flood the homes with natural light. The interiors include custom millwork and 6” white oak character-grade flooring with a Rubio/Monocoat finish. Lutron lighting systems are equipped to control the homes’ comforts and conveniences: Thermostats, WIFI, Smart Security, cameras, and optional pool/spa.
Overview
First level
Grand floor-to-ceiling windows and a commanding two-story foyer marks the entrance of each home. The front door opens out onto a covered porch with wood ceiling and the interior sun-drenched space showcases a second-floor bridge overhead. The family room features intricate architectural details including structural glass, corner walls of windows, a full-height 48” masonry fireplace, and a pair of French doors that open to the covered outdoor patio.
The generous kitchen is an epicurean delight. A complete custom outfit with custom designed center island, cabinetry, framed hood, and waterfall slab countertops. Top-of-the-line appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, and a walk-in pantry. Access to the covered porch, coupled with an adjoining eat-in breakfast area, makes for seamless indoor/outdoor dining. A sitting room adjacent to the bar is located off of the kitchen - the ideal spot to enjoy an aperitif - and a floating conditioned wine wall is an option for wine aficionados. Sleek oversized pocket doors open to a mudroom and there are two powder rooms on the first floor. A sunlit glass hall with floor-to-ceiling windows and walkouts on either side complete the first level of each home. Access to a future elevator, if desired.
Second level
A modern architectural aesthetic remains consistent on the second level with a series of walking bridges and glass railings. Large windows, a skylit atrium, and a sitting area with views of both outdoor courtyards and the first-floor great room below enhance the ethereal nature of each home. A glass stair hallway offers access to a large exterior balcony with stainless steel wire railing and Ipe decking.
Marked by a private entrance, the master suite features cathedral ceilings and trusses, a spacious skylit walk-in closet, and an intimate balcony with views of the back lawn. The master bath is fitted with built-in vanities, floor-to-ceiling slab shower, water closet, and a free-standing bathtub. The second level has an additional three to four ensuite bedrooms, furnished with walk-in closets. A communal study / family room / playroom and a laundry room complete the second floor. Access to a future elevator, if desired.
Upper Level
The upper level offers a bonus area with 738 SF +/- of living space. The loft-like level can be converted to a junior ensuite bedroom with ceiling-height sliding doors that provide balcony access and endless views.
Lower Level
The homes’ lower levels feature 308 SF+/- of finished living space, with an additional 1,946 SF+/- of unfinished space. 10’ ceilings offer ample areas for recreation and can easily accommodate rooms designated for a pool vestibule, bar, fitness studio, and golf simulator. Four glass panel sliders to the outside yard allow for effortless entertaining.
