Property Description
The Observatory House is a true Genesee landmark, offered for the first time in 33 years. Lovingly maintained and extensively remodeled, the home includes a thoughtfully designed 800 sf main-level primary suite addition. Dramatic 2-story great room sets the tone upon entry with gas fireplace flanked by custom ironwork panels. Above, a handcrafted iron balcony serves as both architectural feature and functional art. Expansive walls of glass flood the home with natural light and open to flagstone patios nestled among peaceful woods and acres of open space. Chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with double convection ovens, induction cooktop, solid red birch cabinetry and generous pantry. Enjoy casual dining just off the kitchen or entertain under the stars on the grand flagstone patio with glass-front gas fireplace and Viking range — both plumbed with natural gas. Main-level den/library offers built-in bookshelves, a 2-sided window seat and charming black metal surround gas fireplace. Office niche with built-in desk adds convenience. Primary suite is a retreat of its own complete with Kiva gas fireplace, private patio, travertine marble floor with radiant heat and dual walk-in closets. Spa-inspired 5-piece bath includes slab marble countertops, a frameless shower and jetted soak tub. Creative concrete stairs lead to a 2nd primary suite with hardwood floors, walk-in closet & a luxurious ensuite bath with oversized jetted tub, dry sauna and double vanity. Two additional upper bedrooms share a full bath. Extraordinary Observatory awaits to provide hours of dark sky entertainment. Flexible lower level offers a spacious room ideal for a home theater, gym or playroom. An adjoining kitchenette, large bedroom and full bath create perfect accommodations for a live-in parent or au pair. Located a short walk to the Vista clubhouse with 2 pools, tennis courts and tot lot this home enjoys easy access to 12+ miles of scenic trails. Underground power lines are throughout Genesee.
