OPEN HOUSE
SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH | 2 PM - 4 PM
An award-winning Hall of Mirrors design, opulent lighting, and hand-crafted detailing create a Palace of Versailles right here in Blackhawk. Inspired by the grandeur and sheer beauty of the Paris palace, the gated Hidden Oaks estate is an extraordinary work of art awash in light and showcasing more than $1.4 million of impeccable architectural detailing, enriched with the brilliant design and masterful
craftsmanship of a talented team of interior designers and artisans, and smart home upgrades.
Schonbek crystal chandeliers and sconces glow, recessed and gallery lighting illuminate each room, and natural light streams through new Andersen windows and doors. Vaulted ceilings soar, and hand-painted coffered ceilings gleam, amplifying the spacious rooms while polished marble tile and richly stained engineered hardwood floors ground the space with elegance. Hand-painted stenciling further elevates the uniqueness of this mini Versailles, and hand-selected wallpaper in the award-winning “hall of mirrors” is enhanced by double crown molding and a trio of gold-framed looking glasses.
Every inch of the approximately 3,911 square feet of living space on .41 acres has been meticulously conceived with acute attention to every detail. Five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, beautifully appointed with marble finishes and polished chrome fixtures, include the luxurious primary suite with private access to outdoor venues, a guest bedroom suite, and a fifth bedroom currently used as an executive office behind double French doors.
Step down into the formal living room anchored by a marble-surrounded gas fireplace and front-facing picture windows. A formal dining room with backyard garden views also features a coffered, shimmering, hand-painted ceiling. Designed with aesthetics and function in mind, the chef’s kitchen will delight cooks of all levels. Marble slab counters, beveled subway tile backsplashes, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island/breakfast bar with a marble slab counter are featured under a coffered ceiling with recessed lighting. Stainless steel KitchenAid appliances include a six-burner cooktop with a pot filler, a built-in oven, a 48-inch French door refrigerator/freezer, and a dishwasher.
A vaulted rotunda ceiling with hand-painted stenciling crowns the adjacent casual dining area. Enjoy a peaceful, scenic view of the front gardens from this inviting and unique space. Step down into the sizeable family room, featuring a vaulted ceiling, a new wet bar with upper glass-faced cabinets, and a redesigned gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone surround. Dimmable uplighting from the crown molding creates the ideal theater ambiance for watching movies on the 85-inch mounted Samsung television. This room also features a sliding French door that opens to the patio and poolside.
The primary bedroom, behind a double-door entry at the end of the hall, is a luxurious and comfortable retreat with a vaulted ceiling, a French door that opens to the pool and patio, and a sliding glass door that opens to a private garden and a Trex deck, enhanced by a decorative, custom-painted wall. The award-winning design for the walk-in closet features a black-and-white palette, glass-fronted cabinets, shoe cabinets, an island with deep drawers, recessed lighting, and an exquisite crystal chandelier. The en suite features marble finishes from the dual-sink vanity counter to the shower surround and backsplash for the free-standing bathtub. Behind double doors is a built-in make-up vanity with an oversized illuminated mirror, sconces, and cabinet drawers.
Front and Backyard Gardens - A magnificent magnolia tree, a trio of towering redwoods, and mature trees and foliage strategically planted to optimize beauty and privacy create the inviting front yard. The park-like setting was designed by Susan Friedman and landscaped by Randall Blair. A grand front walkway, a meandering pathway, and custom lighting lead to the large and inviting porch entry.
The level property borders a lush greenbelt in the back. Mature landscaping creates an ultra-private backyard sanctuary featuring a pool, spa, a pair of dolphins, lush garden beds, and a sprawling custom-finished concrete patio. Enjoy the year-round resort-style ambiance and room to entertain and relax with family and friends.
