Every once in a great while, you come across a home that has been so artfully and painstakingly crafted, it’s as if you’ve unearthed a fine diamond. A rare jewel, the result of the right combination of ingredients, pressure, and time. This hillside paragon not only feels like a gem in that regard, but she resembles one when seen from above. You see, the home was designed by the owner of Masseys Jewelers, and the space was specifically designed with jewels in mind. The cuts of the skylights illuminate the sun’s rotation around it all day long, and the whole house has been strategically and symmetrically laid out. This multifaceted space has myriad unique qualities, but perhaps the most eye-catching is the interior flora (those palms – originally from the Aladdin Casino in Las Vegas – were specifically preserved, imported, and planted inside). The marble tile throughout the main level, straight from mother Italia, was hand-selected and imported, as well. The top floor is entirely reserved for the main suite – spiral staircase through palm fronds, stunning fireplace, drool-worthy ensuite bath, walk-out deck (with hot tub), and all. Throw in those views, and the simple fact that this home is nestled against the mountain and less than 15 minutes from a day of skiing/snowboarding? Well, we’re completely dazzled.
