It’s only hours old, but this stylish Ridglea Hills listing nestled between Ridglea Country Club and Luther Lake is a near-perfect family home, recently updated and absolutely move-in ready. Built in 1997, the 4,500-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-and-one-half-bath house presents an imposing if somewhat minimalist countenance to the street.
The façade is fairly traditional in form but devoid of ornament softened by a pleasing rose color brick veneer with glass awnings on the ground floor windows adding an element of panache. The high quality of construction extends to the wood fence with brick pillars bookending the sections.
The layout is the popular hybrid open concept with satellite closed spaces we’ve been seeing a lot lately. The main body consists of the standard open-concept trio of living, dining, and kitchen areas. To the right of the foyer is a separate formal dining room.
The galley kitchen is bright white and blessed with an abundance of cabinets and built-in appliances including double ovens, a gas cooktop, two dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a dining bar. Sputnik-style pendants float above the bar and are a sort of theme throughout the house, appearing in the dining room, foyer, and office.
Getting Groovy in Ridglea Hills
Groovy is the only word I can find to describe the secondary living area at ground level. Nearly completely monochromatic, the black and white room rocks retro with mod touches like the suspended acrylic “bubble” chair, Fortuny-style tripod lamps, and funky pillows. Oh, and don’t miss that Jeff Koons “balloon” dog on the console.
All bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite is lavish with an antechamber, super-sized bedroom with a balcony, and large jazzy bath. The graphic floor tiles and square brass cabinet pulls strike a Deco note.
All bedrooms have attached baths and are generously proportioned. The second floor also includes an open living area.
The back features a beautiful hardscape including a covered patio behind three classical arches, an open semi-covered patio, an attached grill, and a lovely pool and spa. The garage has three spaces.
