PROPERTY PROFILE Great Point Properties $3,195,000 Live like a king (or queen) on King's Way The thing that will strike you most prominently about the home at Six King's Way is that it was obviously designed and built by craftsmen of the highest calling. Ahome fit for royalty, which is fitting, given the address.
The materials used are not only of top-shelf quality, but they are appropriate for both the architectural style as well as the island itself. Take the kitchen, for example. In its center is a massive, cool, grey marble-topped island with a built-in six burner cooktop and range. Countertops of the same light marble ring the kitchen, interrupted only by the massive cabinetry-clad refrigerator and a voluminous stainless steel farm sink that is nearly as deep as it is wide. Echoing the colors found in the marble countertops is the tile backsplash which is made up of smaller rectangular marble tiles in a distinctive running bond pattern that provides an understated textured backdrop to the rest of the kitchen.
The cabinetry is clearly the best money can buy, but it, too, is understated and unadorned. The cabinet fronts are glass with a frame that features a wonderful bead detail which speaks of the cabinet's quality without screaming. The counter cabinets feature solid panel doors with the same beaded frame and brushed nickel pulls that echo the finish on the kitchen sink fixtures.
Overhead are three simple pendants and several small recessed fixtures that wash the prep surfaces with light and help to make this kitchen one of the most chef-friendly we have seen. What a pleasure to prepare a meal in such a space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a large dining space with several builtins, large windows and room for both a dining table and a comfortable seating area for friends or family. A space perfectly sized for a large flat panel TV is framed by custom cabinetry and shelving on one wall. Beyond this room is a wonderful solarium with plenty of light and two sets of French doors leading to the side yard.
Making our way clockwise around the floor plan, one comes to the generously sized living room, the focal point of which is an austere and mantle-less, black marble-clad fireplace which contrasts nicely with the white walls and woodwork and honey pine floors. The fireplace is flanked by deep custom built-in shelves and cabinets. A wonderful porch accessible via a pair of wide French doors increases the living room's usable space in the summer time.
Another room which features unexpected details is the home's mudroom which is located just off the side entrance. Just steps inside is a long, built-in bench where one can remove boots and foul weather gear. Just beyond, one finds a smaller room with a deep utility sink surrounded by the same marble and nickel-plated fixtures as the kitchen, as well as a full-sized, top-quality, stacked washer and dryer. Opulence and utility come together here, with stunning results.
The home offers four bedrooms, each with its own full bath, one of which is on the first floor and features its own entrance via a pair of French doors to a curved flagstone patio beyond. The second floor master suite is nothing short of spectacular with its private balcony and a large inviting fireplace. The walk-in closet is large enough to garage a compact car. Best of all, the bathroom is a vision in cool marble, with a water closet, a separate soaking tub and a huge two-person shower featuring an oversized, overhead soaking showerhead.
This regal property, with dozens of spectacular details, just off Cliff Road in a highly desirable location, is offered at
$3,195,000. I
