HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS ARE REQUIRED BY 5PM, SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH. Crowning the peak of Balfour Drive this brilliantly designed custom home prioritizes privacy on its perch of "flight deck" panoramic city views. Thoughtfully crafted, bespoke details reveal how much the current owner values excellence. Utilizing time-honored construction materials and methods, this "Top of the Mountain" home is truly one of a kind. Masterfully set in an "easy-to-care-for" professionally landscaped terrain, the home's driveway was meticulously engineered to gently slope as it ascends. These details set the stage for a regal streetside presence. Once inside, this beauty speaks for herself. She seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living spaces with tall walls of glass. These distinctive architectural details are just one of this property's notable jewels. The primary bedroom suite is a wing unto itself. A colossal "Chef's Kitchen" can abundantly entertain. In case of power loss, a backup generator energizes this home via a transfer switch. What's more, there is also an impressive array of easily convertible extra spaces. Value-add opportunities here are endless. On a tour, buyers will see existing roughed-in plumbing for a full bathroom in the 3500+ square foot, wide open basement. With so much room to grow in this prime, sought-after location, the intrinsic value here is incalculable. Opportunities to buy on Balfour are rare. Now is your chance. If open design, fine craftsmanship, and exquisite owner care with sky-high city views, are on your "MUST HAVE" home checklist...then WELCOME HOME.
