An Extraordinary estate with views.
Directly across from prestigious Quarton Lake with unobstructed water views, this 4-bedroom, 5.2-bath residence with a sought-after first-floor primary suite offers 4,912 square feet of refined living space in one of Birmingham’s most coveted settings. Designed with an appreciation for artistry and scale, the home opens to an 18-foot two-story foyer anchored by a sweeping curved staircase and crowned by a bronze and crystal chandelier, establishing an immediate sense of grandeur. The living room rises to matching two-story heights, framed by dramatic windows, and centered around a gas fireplace. Architectural moldings and carved ceiling motifs add depth and refinement, while the open balcony above creates an elegant visual connection to the second level. Formal spaces throughout the home showcase extraordinary decorative detail. An appointed dining room features a tray ceiling with hand-painted scenes and French doors leading directly to the bluestone patio, creating a seamless transition to outdoor entertaining. Nearby, a private den offers a more intimate retreat with hand-painted cloud ceilings, gold stenciled cherry blossom wall finishes, and custom cabinetry.
Sophisticated living.
In the kitchen, white Wood-Mode cabinetry with gold and crystal hardware pairs with porcelain countertops and a sculptural island. Professional appliances include a Thermador gas cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigeration, KitchenAid double convection ovens, Wolf warming drawer, and Asko dishwasher, while a wall of glass overlooks the landscaped bluestone path leading to the private backyard. The main-floor primary suite is designed as a private retreat, complete with two walk-in closets and dual spa-like bathrooms finished in marble, one featuring a Jacuzzi tub beneath a stained-glass window and the other a marble shower with Venetian plaster walls. Three additional bedroom suites upstairs each offer walk-in closets and private baths with updated quartz counters and fixtures.
Thoughtful infrastructure from the outdoors in.
Outdoors, professionally designed landscaping surrounds the property with remarkable detail. A heated brick paver driveway and bluestone entry, limestone fountain, and an extraordinary rose garden with 339 rose bushes create a memorable arrival experience. The newly completed backyard offers a secluded setting with a large bluestone patio, built-in fountain, and mature landscaping—designed for both quiet moments and effortless entertaining. Throughout the home, custom oak flooring, extensive crown moldings, curated lighting, and thoughtful infrastructure—including a whole-house generator, snow-melt systems, and advanced HVAC—reflect a property where craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless architectural design are seamlessly integrated.
