This property was created to suit the needs of a large family who wanted a home that would provide the ultimate in comfort, amenities, and entertainment value. Although the home was intended to be very livable for the family, it is definitely a home built to impress! The 44,000 square foot house was designed in a French Country style, and the final result exudes the charm of a European mansion. The exterior of the home is Indiana limestone, a material reserved for the most distinguished properties and features the iron-work typical to the French style, courtyards and balconies, and beautiful landscaping. Also included in the design is a lovely reflecting pool, accessed from French doors, and several outbuildings. Within the four stories, amazing interior spaces create the perfect home for a discerning family. The lowest level is designed for fun and entertainment, with a wine cellar, a theatre, a card room, virtual golf, and a playroom. Stepping through the magnificent front doors, one is greeted by a massive foyer with marble floors, flanked by a parlor and a library. Also on the main floor are a huge dining hall, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a breakfast area with a large pantry area, a bar, a family room, and a powder room. The first floor also boasts a billiards room, a workshop, a gym, with a shower and sauna, and a flower arranging room. A garage and Porte Cochere are located on the main floor as well. Upstairs, the bedrooms all feature walk-in closets and ensuite facilities. The primary bedroom includes a sitting room with a fireplace, double walk-in closets, and a spa bathroom that has access to the elevator that delivers them to and from the gym area below. Also, on that floor JRP Architects included a gallery, an office, and a chapel. The attic boasts additional bedrooms and a playroom along with a deck to enjoy the outdoors. Six fireplaces are scattered throughout the mansion, and included in the design are three elevators. The home features a geothermal heating and cooling system and radiant heated floors.
