About This Home

Welcome to an extraordinary all-brick estate in the prestigious gated community of Wynstone, where timeless architecture meets resort level living. Move-in ready with a newer roof and mechanicals, this commanding residence sits on nearly 1.5 acres at the end of a quiet culdesac, elevated for exceptional privacy and sweeping golf course views. Offering over 13,000 sq ft of uncompromising luxury, this 5bedroom, 5.3bath masterpiece showcases breathtaking vistas from nearly every room. A grand foyer with a soaring tray ceiling and dazzling chandelier sets the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout-solid wood doors, exquisite millwork, and enduring high-end finishes chosen by the original builders with no expense spared. A rare and remarkable feature: heated floors throughout the entire home, including the garage and the indoor basketball sport court. Further elevating the home's exceptional quality, the owners have invested in major, top-tier mechanical upgrades, including new HVAC furnaces and A/C systems (2024), new manifolds (2025 & 2026), and new boilers (2026)-a level of modernization seldom found in estates of this scale. These enhancements ensure long term efficiency, reliability, and comfort, reinforcing the home's status as a truly turnkey luxury residence. Designed for both elegant entertaining and elevated everyday living, the main level unfolds with beautifully appointed formal living and dining rooms. At the heart of the home, the gourmet chef's kitchen impresses with an expansive island, professional grade stainless appliances, a generous walk-in pantry, and seamless access to outdoor living spaces-all perfectly positioned to capture the home's stunning golf course backdrop. The adjacent family room is a showstopper, featuring a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace, cathedral ceiling, custom dry bar, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light. A sun-filled four season room with a private hot tub offers year round relaxation in a serene, secluded setting. The main level primary suite is a private sanctuary, boasting a unique two-level loft design, tranquil sitting area, oversized walk-in closets, and a spain-spired bath with dual vanities, a clawfoot soaking tub, and a glass enclosed shower. A richly appointed office/library with coffered ceiling, floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and private backyard access creates an exceptional work from home retreat. Upstairs, four additional bedroom suites each offer private ensuite baths, expansive walk-in closets, and imaginative lofts or bonus spaces rarely found in luxury homes. A spacious central third floor connects these flexible areas, creating a dynamic and functional upper-level layout. A spectacular guest or in-law suite includes its own lounge with built-in sauna and overlooks the home's heated indoor halfcourt basketball court-an amenity that truly sets this estate apart. The full finished English basement extends the living and entertaining space with a large recreation room with fireplace and wet bar, dedicated game room, exercise studio, huge cedar closet, and a private home theater delivering a true cinematic experience. Outdoors, the nearly 1.5acre setting offers exceptional privacy, sweeping golf course views, a grand Bluestone patio, and two ideal locations for a future pool, allowing you to design your own backyard resort. A 5-car garage with direct access to the indoor basketball court completes this exceptional offering. With a 2021 roof, gutters with leaf guards, all ensuite bedrooms, and a suite of premium mechanical upgrades, this estate is grand in scale yet thoughtfully designed for luxurious comfort. It offers an unparalleled lifestyle of elegance, privacy, craftsmanship, and possibility-set within one of the region's most exclusive gated golf course communities.
