A triumph of modern architecture, this brilliant collaboration between designer Brian Ahern and builder Jeff Darby embodies a perfect blend of form and function. Nestled in the serene pocket of Virginia Avenue (east of North Highland Avenue), and just a short stroll away from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Virginia Highland. The exterior features vertical variable-sized teak stained wood siding with a dark finish, exuding warmth and contemporary elegance. Wood, concrete, and metal railings, along with stucco accents, are harmoniously repeated throughout the home, creating a cohesive and striking aesthetic. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a dramatic entrance with hidden expansive front stairs behind a concrete wall, offering both privacy and grandeur. The 4-foot double cantilever provides shelter from the elements, while the huge front door hints at the luxury within. Inside, the kitchen seamlessly flows into the dining and living areas featuring 10 foot ceilings, offering a space for relaxation and entertainment. Generous sunlight flows through every room. The central floating stair, with natural stain thick wood planks and steel, is a stunning focal point, blending modern design with functionality. The kitchen features polished concrete floors for durability and sustainability, complemented by a Meile built-in coffee maker and cooktop that maintain the clean lines of the modern aesthetic. The Meile single oven fits beautifully up into the horizontal elements of the cabinets, inspired by the Poliform Twelve kitchen design. The outdoor deck spans nearly the entire width of the house, accessible through a sliding glass door, providing the perfect entertainment area. With its extraordinary 22-foot height above the expansive deck, the back cantilevered deck of teak stained wood offers all-season, all-weather entertainment. Upstairs, the stunning primary suite boasts a large walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom and shower, and a front-facing master deck. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom, while a fourth bedroom offers an in-law suite feel or flex room, complete with a private back deck overlooking the trees and neighborhood. The terrace level offers ample space and storage, including a game room/multipurpose space with floor-to-ceiling storage closets. A finished room at the base of the stairs, previously used as a wine room, could easily accommodate a full bathroom. A theater room, workout room, and unfinished large storage room complete the downstairs, with a walk-out to the driveway and backyard. Sleek, spacious two car garage with ample storage and electric car charger. Beautifully landscaped, the flat backyard features a flower garden, perfect for the home gardener. This modern oasis is a true gem in the heart of Virginia Highland, offering luxury, functionality, privacy, and a beautiful living experience. This residence is breathtaking, and must be seen to be believed. Welcome home.
