This elegant Italianate home would look as much at home on the shores of Lake Como as it does here in Henson Forest. The beautifully constructed home was custom built for the present owner by Dennis Sosebee. This home totally re-defines the meaning of Luxury Home, with features like two grand master suites. One master suite is on the first floor the second is on the second floor.  

A dramatic two story foyer is anchored by a filled travertine marble floor. On one side of the foyer is a handsome wood paneled Ralph Lauren"esque" study that will appeal to any man. Across from the library is a stunning formal dining room that can seat twelve or more in complete comfort. Above the back of the foyer is a balcony that connects the second floor master suite wing to two additional spacious bedroom suites with private baths. Another flight of stairs from the second floor leads up to the home's "Widow's Walk" which functions as an art gallery for the present owner. The back of the foyer opens into a grand two story living room with a magnificent stone faced fireplace. Three elegant archways separate the living room from a window lined gallery that leads to the breakfast room, kitchen and family room.

When it comes to high end epicurean kitchens, this home will have few rivals!  A beautifully articulated niche houses a five foot Wolf range. Above the range is a handsome hood concealing a professional ventilation system. The kitchen also enjoys a Subzero refrigerator/freezer and two Asko dishwashers. Hand finished, perfectly outfitted custom cabinets are topped in a sea of granite. The kitchen opens into a grand two story space with a massive coffered ceiling that is home to a spacious breakfast room and a large comfortable den. The den enjoys one on the home's four fireplaces and overlooks the pool, spa & terrace below, as does the breakfast room. A stone floored, covered terrace is accessible from the breakfast room. The perfect spot for alfresco dining in the spring, summer & fall.

On the lower level is a full finished, walk-out basement with a large game room, full kitchen and a professional home theater. The present owner runs a highly successful business from this area. In addition to the game room, theater and kitchen, there are five offices, a gym, an equipment room and one full and one half bath. One of the baths serves the gym and pool area. This remarkable home also has an elevator that services all floors.

Outside beautifully manicured grounds embrace this stunning home. There is a large paved parking area outside the oversized three car garage with step leading down to the back terrace. The home's terrace runs across the back of the residence and encompasses an outdoor stone fireplace and a fabulous custom,heated pool and spa with a waterfall!
