Key Facts
Description
A GLOBAL MASTERPIECE: CUSTOM BRICK ESTATE AND PRIVATE RESORT OASIS IN GREGGS LANDING... At under $300 per square foot, 151 Palmer Circle presents an un-compromised trifecta of value, scale, and premier location that simply cannot be replicated by today's volatile new construction market. Boasting over $750,000 in recent, state-of-the-art luxury investments, this ~7,500-square-foot all-brick estate offers something modern builds completely lack: immediate gratification and absolute, established privacy. Carrying the elite pedigree of being the custom builder's own personal residence-commissioned to designer Samuel Guzzardo's exacting specifications-this architectural masterpiece is unexpectedly available due to an out-of-state corporate relocation. For the discerning buyer, this is a rare, turnkey entry into a lifestyle of pure luxury. ARCHITECTURAL ARRIVAL AND MAIN LEVEL GRANDEUR... The estate's commanding curb appeal features an expanded concrete circular drive anchored by a newly installed Tuscan fountain and a premium, lifetime Brava composite shake roof. Inside, the grand foyer introduces a magnificent, hand-crafted "dove's wing" split staircase. Newly refinished hardwood floors flow into a dramatic, sun-drenched two-story family room and the home's culinary epicenter. Designed for high-end entertaining, the chef's kitchen features seamlessly refinished custom cabinetry, dual prep and serving islands, and a newly integrated, commercial-grade Bosch gas appliance suite. THE ULTIMATE LIVING ASSET... A major differentiator is the oversized main-floor executive wing. Paired with an adjacent full bathroom, this flexible space serves as a step-free suite perfectly tailored for extended guests or multi-generational luxury living. LUXURIOUS LIVING QUARTERS AND VERSATILE EXPANSION... A gorgeous circular hallway gallery connects the upper level, leading to a sanctuary of comfort. The primary retreat is a lavish escape, complete with its own private balcony and a spa-inspired luxury bath. Each secondary bedroom showcases unique architectural character, featuring custom turreted and barreled ceilings. Adding immense structural value is a newly finished, highly versatile 768-square-foot sound-proofed bonus pavilion located above the three-car garage. Currently utilized as an additional bedroom on the 2nd level, this massive space easily transforms into an elite game room, a private fitness center, or a secondary guest wing, complemented by a new second-floor laundry room finished with premium quartz countertops. WALKOUT ENTERTAINMENT LEVEL AND INDEPENDENT AU PAIR SUITE... The walkout lower level is an entertainment paradise grounded by imported Italian tile, featuring a marble-surround fireplace and a custom wraparound wet bar that rivals the ambiance of exclusive private clubs. Crucially, this level houses a completely self-contained, independent au pair or multi-generational suite complete with its own private living room, a fully equipped second kitchen, a den, a secluded bedroom, and a full bathroom. A SECLUDED BACKYARD OASIS... Step through the sweeping glass doors into a globally inspired outdoor paradise. Enveloped by 112 professionally planted arborvitae trees soaring up to 18 feet, the property provides an impenetrable sanctuary of privacy that raw, new construction lots take a decade to achieve. The crown jewel is a spectacular 40-foot heated saltwater swimming pool, meticulously designed with a shallow tanning ledge and an automated hard safety cover. Just steps away, a premium 7-person Jacuzzi spa rests beneath a sweeping concrete terrace, creating the ultimate backdrop for summer entertaining or quiet morning swims. Why endure the grueling multi-year timelines, volatile material surcharges, and bare dirt lots of building from scratch? The proof of uncompromised craftsmanship, locked-in value, and architectural heritage is already standing at 151 Palmer Circle. Your legacy estate is finished, perfected, and ready on day one.
