This exquisite home built on ten acres in the gated community of The Highlands at Broken Top is a true gem and only minutes from downtown Bend, Mt. Bachelor, Tetherow Golf Club, Broken Top Club and schools. It represents the unique combination of peaceful privacy, style and convenience. Designed by Chicago Architect Julie Gross of Stoneberg and Gross Architects, the architecture represents balance, symmetry, grace and style.
Every attention to detail was made in the finish of this home. Custom cabinetry, raised paneling, wainscot, moldings and solid wood doors are only the beginning of the extensive mill work inside. All of the door hardware is solid brass from Rocky Mountain. The windows and ceilings are designed to maximize the stunning views and natural light in each room. The house is bathed in Central Oregon's light and beauty. Lighted niches throughout the home provide multiple stages for collections and art pieces.
Custom work abounds in this home. Whether in the carved limestone fireplace, the wrought iron handrail, the mosaic marble bathrooms, the light fixtures or the marble and ceramic tile work... a nod to a traditional style is always there, but function is not lost in this home.
With both a formal and a service entry and stairway, this home is designed for entertaining and everyday luxurious living. His and hers cherry paneled offices provide private and functional work spaces. A separate informal dining area off the kitchen provides a great space for either casual entertaining or family dining. Both are connected to 1000+ SF of blue stone terraces for outdoor living. The kitchen is equipped with every appliance a chef could want; Dacor range, Dacor oven, wall oven, microwave and warming drawer, two Subzero fridges, Subzero wine cooler and Subzero refrigerator drawers and dual Miele dishwashers! All appliances in the home including the Maytag Neptune washer and dryer, a clear ice maker and a bar fridge have extended warranties.
The amenities are seemingly endless with radiant heat throughout the main floor as well as the master bath, a security system that includes monitoring of jewelry safe area, ceiling fans and data ports in all bedrooms, a smart box for wiring the house for the future, a phone/intercom system which includes 9 telephones, multiple heating and cooling systems zoned with electrostatic air filters, two water heating systems, extensive landscaping with illumination, irrigated from a 3000 gallon cistern which also provides fire protection, a Slate 2.0 roofing system, a large raised bed garden for vegetable and cutting flowers protected from wildlife with an iron fence, and a built-in speaker systems inside and out for entertainment.
