A Masterpiece of Architectural Elegance and Modern Sophistication on the North Shore: Poised in one of the North Shore's most coveted enclaves, this extraordinary lifestyle estate seamlessly blends the enduring grandeur of its 1894 carriage house origins with sophisticated modern luxuries, curated for the discerning connoisseur. Every inch of this thoroughly reimagined residence whispers history, while embracing a design ethos centered on beauty, flow, and effortless entertainment. From the moment of arrival, the estate's commanding presence captivates. A sweeping granite cobblestone circular drive, anchored by a sculptural stone fountain and framed by mature landscaping with bespoke contemporary accents, sets a tone of timeless elegance. A striking gabled stone tile roof and a mid-century modern carport complement the estate's architectural narrative, while a wrought iron enclosure draws the eye toward the crown jewel of the grounds-a magnificent circular pool surrounded by tiered natural stone patios. Professionally designed lighting illuminates the grounds to create an enchanting atmosphere day or night. The entry vestibule-encased in floor-to-ceiling glass-offers a dramatic yet understated introduction to the home's architectural artistry. Inside, an expansive open-concept living and dining space is crowned by soaring wood-beamed ceilings and intricate mosaic wood tile floors, anchored by a grand natural stone fireplace and a custom-designed standalone bar. A separate den, bathed in natural light from its vaulted glass ceiling, offers a serene retreat. The brand new chef's kitchen is nothing short of extraordinary-an epicurean dream centered around a 5x10 ft porcelain-topped Amish Shaker island. Outfitted with a curated suite of premium appliances including a Thermador range, Dacor refrigerator, Wolf wall oven, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and drawer, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, Miele built-in coffee station, and Sharp microwave drawer, it's designed for both beauty and function. A walk-in pantry, wraparound window seating, coffered ceiling, and herringbone wide-plank floors complete the picture of culinary excellence. Upstairs, original 19th-century craftsmanship lives on in rich Rosewood-paneled walls and ceilings. Three exquisite ensuite bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with panoramic views of the terrace and pool, offer refined comfort for residents and guests alike. The lower level is a revelation-fully reimagined with an entertainer's vision. The recreation room retains its rustic charm with original stone fireplace and wide plank hardwood flooring. A custom-made bunk room-designed with teens and guests in mind-features four custom bunks with integrated storage, lighting, and outlets. Beyond, a spa-style locker room dazzles with dual walk-in showers, double sinks, full wall of lockers, and a captivating circular tiled feature wall-ideal for post-swim gatherings and memorable soirees. This is not merely a home-it is a living work of art. A sanctuary of distinction for a buyer who values original design, impeccable craftsmanship, and a lifestyle defined by both elegance and ease. Don't miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the Marvin Glass House your new home.
