Single Family Home $825,000

Nestled in the heart of Eagle Heights, one of Western New York's most coveted neighborhoods, this exceptional transitional contemporary home exudes quality, embodies nature, and affords its' occupants a private sanctuary, both indoors and out. Designed by renowned, contemporary architect, Al Fontanese, and built, then updated, with thoughtfulness and care by the original craftsmen at CBL Snyder, this unique property represents a delicate balance of traditional charm via the extensive use of natural materials (hardwoods, tile, stone, brick, marble, slate, and cork), four fireplaces, each with unique hardwood mantels and surrounds, solid cherry paneled doors, molding and millwork throughout home, and modern updates. 

The interior highlights begin in the multi-level entrance foyer with double cherrywood staircases, gorgeous hardwood paneling, and a vaulted wood ceiling. Natural light floods in from expansive windows, the 20+ skylights found throughout the breakfast room, sunroom, and indoor pool complex, which itself features a self-cleaning, self-chlorinating (45' x 15') indoor gunite pool, heated for year-round enjoyment. The pool and adjacent sunrooms are surrounded by stone walls that anchor the vaulted ceilings. Lush tropical ferns cascade from the many built-in, poolside stone planters. In totality, the pool complex includes the pool, adjoining sunroom, full bathroom, locker/changing room, and compartmented mechanical room.

The spacious living room and den are perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing after a long day, while the kitchen, which opens to the spectacular, vaulted breakfast room, is a chef's dream come true, complete with double-sided wood-burning fireplace, stainless steel appliances, ceramic countertops, and an abundance of cherry cabinets. Each of the bedrooms is a luxurious retreat, with gleaming hardwood floors and plenty of closet space, while the bathrooms, each with their unique character, feature sleek fixtures and contemporary design. 

Beginning with the all-brick facade, the sun and shade adjoining flagstone patios with 6’ fire table, serve as a backdrop to view the sunrise among established private gardens. Easy-care perennials (native plants, herbs, ferns, grasses, scrubs, & specimen trees) provide vibrant, seasonal color and texture for both outdoor and indoor viewing.  Well-positioned landscape lighting brighten the evenings.  All gardens are watered by an automated irrigation system from Aqua-Systems of WNY. A rare metasequoia tree specimen, a species thought to be extinct until plant found in Asian mountains in 1940’s, adorns the backyard.
