Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, this classically contemporary estate on 1.88 gently rolling acres overlooking the Tennessee River and the city with a glimpse of Lookout Mountain provides the perfect option for those gravitating downtown. Strongly influenced by one of Wright's most famous works, the Robie House, this home embraces dramatic sweeping horizontal lines, huge expanses of windows and overhangs of balconies, patios and porches that embrace captivating views. Filled with natural light from floor to ceiling windows of the living areas, the high quality finishes of a complete renovation in 2007 are reflected with meticulous attention to detail from custom designed crowns reinforcing the architectural lines expected in a Wright home and carried through to solid mahogany columns, balustrade and stair treads. Professionally designed lighting becomes the crowning touch with dimmer control throughout. Brazilian cherry hardwoods provide rich and flawless contrast with the imported Italian 18 inch tiles of the kitchen floor. Commercial grade stainless appliances including Wolf six burner gas cook top, ovens & warming drawer along with Meile dishwasher and 48 inch Subzero will lure you back to the kitchen. An oversized island provides enormous preparation space and serving possibilities. Side door from parking area provides desirable mud room off kitchen with two closets.
