Amazing Architectural Masterpiece!

This estate is truly one of a kind in the Columbia, SC market. Wishing to evoke the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, the owner commissioned renowned Aspen, Colorado architect Charles Cunniffe (www.cunniffe.com) to create an architectural masterpiece that is far and away the most unique property in Columbia. Never before has a home of this caliber been offered for sale in this market. At $3,497,000, the home is priced at far less than the current replacement costs for re-construction, and there are no more waterfront lots available on this lake without razing an existing home. The Wildewood Country Club is a revered golf course tradtionally known as one of the finest in the area. Recently, the new Woodcreek Farms Golf Course Development gained a reciprocal arrangement with Wildewood, so now the lucky member gets two fabulous courses instead of just one! This neighborhood is the choice of many of Columbia's dignitaries, professionals, business owners and most well-known residents. This community is home to Steve Spurrier, now coaching the South Carolina Gamecocks. Previously, legendary football coach Lou Holtz also made Wildewood his home while he was coaching here in Columbia. A world of luxury awaits you as you enter from the Porte-cochere across the bridge over the waterfall and step through the custom mahogany doors. You are greeted by breathtaking construction and architecture, with a soaring barrell-vaulted cypress ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling curved wall of glass framing the picturesque lake view. The circular grand staircase is encased in a three-story tower of curved glass, and features a unique 'floating' glass banister and balcony, custom-designed and hand-made on site. In addition, an elevator services all three floors and also opens into the three-car garage. The kitchen is a gourmet delight with Siematic cabinetry backed by hand-laid iridescent glass tiles that catch the light from the gorgeous sunsets out the huge kitchen window overlooking the lake. The walls of the pantry and keeping room are lined with 'touch-latch' cabinetry that offers amazing storage while blending seamlessly into the walls. Prepare an incredible meal on the stainless steel Viking range, Thermador ovens and warming drawer, or step out onto the adjacent balcony to barbecue on the TEC stainless outdoor grill. Four Fisher & Paykel drawer-style dishwashers and sparkling granite countertops make cleanup a breeze. The unsurpassed living space includes three master suites with private baths and walk-in closets, plus a very private separate owner's retreat with panoramic views of the lake. Relax in the travertine marble bathroom & soak in the large Roman tub with a good book from the nearby library. The size of the owner's closet is nothing short of mindboggling, and even opens into an attached office or exercise room, which is completely secluded from the rest of the home. The lower level features a wonderful recreation room with a granite wet bar and climate-controlled wine room. The recreation room and the two lower-level bedrooms all open to the pool and patio are through massive sliding glass doors. The quality and level of craftsmanship in this home cannot be overstated. This contemporary masterpiece of architectural artistry is definitely not the norm in the South! Each door, each piece of molding, each oversized brick on the exterior, and each painstaking detail that create the luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere in this home, had to be hand-crafted by the best of tradespeople brought in from all over the country. The construction of the home took nearly two years of hard work and dedication by the architect, builder and owner to bring this vision to reality. The discriminating buyer will understand and appreciate the level of quality in this home. For those who insist on having only the best, and a cookie-cutter 'McMansion' won't do, take a look at this one-of-a-kind property and be the only one to possess the finest home in the area.
