Things are looking extra luxe in Lexington with the new build at 23 Thoreau Road.
The six-bed, 10-bath (8 full, 2 half) home, which measures 8,649 square feet, is now on the market for $6.1 million.
Sitting on a 30,435-square-foot lot surrounded by lush landscaping and mature trees and plants, the contemporary home welcomes guests in a grand foyer, where 23-foot ceilings tower overhead.
A massive staircase with a steel frame and full wood treads climbs upward to the second level under elegant chandeliers and a skylight.
On the left side of the home, you’ll find a library or game room and an additional room that could be easily customized as an office or additional bedroom.
Continue straight, and you’ll find yourself in the comfortable yet luxurious family room. Boasting an open concept that flows naturally into the informal dining space, it’s great for busy mornings.
In the spacious kitchen, you’ll find top-of-the-line Wolf and SubZero appliances and plenty of storage and preparation space created with custom cabinetry and millwork.
A spacious butler’s pantry off the kitchen provides storage space, a second dishwasher and oven, and wine storage. That entire room looks out onto the outdoor entertaining and dining veranda, a 60-foot space that embraces the natural beauty of the outdoor setting.
Back inside, a bright playroom off the kitchen could easily be converted into an office, studio, or additional bedroom.
A formal dining room is great for dinner parties. It features walnut and leathered marble built-ins with lighting and custom hardware. The living room features the same unique elements under 12-foot ceilings.
A contemporary fireplace anchors the living room and is covered by an enormous single piece of natural stone made of leathered marble.
Climb the grand staircase to the second level, where you’ll find the private primary suite, home to a spacious dressing room that’s larger than the bedroom. The primary bath has a custom vanity, heated marble floors and a marble steam shower with a marble bench.
Also on the second floor are four en suite bedrooms and a laundry room.
An enormous home gym is the perfect spot to get in a workout and boasts ceilings measuring nearly 13 feet high. Equipped with its own bathroom, the room is spacious enough for extensive potential customization, like the addition of a golf simulator.
Back on the main level, which measures over 4,000 square feet, it naturally flows outside to the home’s outdoor space, which could easily fit a swimming pool and spa.
The 60-foot terrace embraces an indoor/outdoor aesthetic, thanks to a custom steel pergola and outdoor kitchen, and multiple dining areas. The terrace is also equipped with gas in case the owner would like to install a fire feature.
The home also features a three-car garage with high ceilings and epoxy floors, multi-room sound system, home automation system, and video surveillance system.
