About 471 S Columbia Street
A Masterpiece of Cape Cod Elegance & Uncompromised Luxury Spanning more than 10,000 square feet of meticulously curated living space across four finished levels, this custom-built estate is a triumph of architectural design and bespoke craftsmanship. Painstakingly conceptualized and flawlessly maintained by its original owners, this turnkey sanctuary was created with absolutely no expense spared. From the timeless HardiePlank exterior to the hand-scraped hickory floors underfoot, every detail speaks to a life of refined luxury. The main floor introduces an airy, open-concept layout designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate family moments. Epicurean Chef's Kitchen: A culinary dream featuring a premium Viking 60" range, convection ovens, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, stunning Cambria quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, multiple oversized islands, and an additional beverage and wine storage serving bar, all adjacently configured for effortless hosting. Sophisticated Living Spaces: Seamlessly transitioning from the gourmet kitchen is an elegant formal dining room, a welcoming family room, a cozy den, and a sun-drenched eat-in breakfast area. Two dedicated office spaces offer the ultimate environment for remote executives or for after-school homework. A main-floor mudroom, laundry room (one of three), and a full guest en-suite with vaulted ceilings and direct pool access provide unparalleled convenience for guests or family members. The primary retreat is defined by soaring vaulted ceilings and rustic wood trussing. It features an exclusive, wood-paneled three-season room with a private fireplace. The spa-like primary bath offers heated floors, a double vanity, a deep air-bubble soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Dual his-and-hers walk-in closets boast bespoke storage systems, plus dedicated space for luggage and seasonal wardrobes. Directly adjacent is a massive laundry suite with dual LG WashTower systems and a dedicated craft room. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, each with a private full en-suite bath and heated flooring. Bedroom five surprises with a private staircase leading to a whimsical, U-shaped playroom/flex space on the third level. The lower level is a 3,200-square-foot finished English basement that is a destination unto itself, detailed with authentic Chicago brick tile and prefinished flooring. A professional-grade gym with cedar-planked walls and cork flooring, a large built-in security safe, and an adjacent full bath featuring an aromatherapy steam shower. A sophisticated fireside lounge area transitions to a dual-zone wine destination featuring a 36" Sub-Zero wine tower, wet bar, and custom bottle display. The Custom Bar features quartz counters, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, an ice machine, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, an in-counter microwave, and a retro Big Chill refrigerator for extra cold storage. A private, tiered theater room features custom leather seating for 12, a projector, and a massive screen, alongside dedicated spaces for billiards and arcade games. A sports equipment mudroom and a third full-size laundry room with heated tile flooring round out the lower level. A Private Resort-Style Backyard offering total privacy behind a perimeter of mature arborvitae and custom fencing. A pristine saltwater pool takes center stage, complete with a waterfall wall, a diving board, a gradual depth ranging from 3 to 8 feet, a jetted whirlpool, and a seamless automatic safety cover. An outdoor shower for rinsing off. A massive covered porch with a cedar V-groove ceiling, accent lighting, and three built-in space heaters allows for multi-season dining. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in Viking grill and beverage drawers. A Bluestone patio surrounds a wood-burning outdoor fireplace. The discreet 4-car side-load garage preserves the flawless Cape Cod curb appeal. East Highlands, D203 schools, walk to town, jog the riverwalk. It can all be yours.
