4724 Saint Johns Drive with its symmetrical French architecture and transitional interiors sitting on a quarter-acre in original Highland Park, spanning the 80-foot frontage is a true rarity with 9,281 square feet consisting of six bedrooms, four living areas, a three-car garage, pool, and elevator.

The natural-stone walkway framed by a tiered landscape design balances the high pitched slate roof and tall casement windows one would expect of this style.

Entering the home you’ll be greeted by a long foyer with curved staircase, ornamental lighting, and a thoughtful floor plan filled with natural light perfect for every life-stage. To your left, a formal living room warmed by wood floors in-laid with natural stone and a grand cast stone fireplace, giving way to the library with hand-painted ceilings and parquet flooring, where one might enjoy a book or game of chess overlooking the pool. Opposite- the formal dining room is adorned with an intricate Swarovski crystal chandelier, and access to a kitchen fit for a chef by way of the butler’s pantry. Walls lined with cabinets frame the large kitchen island with a second rinsing sink and two dishwashers. Other appliances include a 48-inch Wolf gas range top; double ovens, warming drawer and SubZero integrated refrigerator and freezer.

The kitchen, opening to the great room includes a breakfast-sitting area and third living area with exposed-beams and stone-cast fireplace overlooking the court-yard style patio terrace and pool along a wall of French doors. Outdoor built-in seating and fresh landscaping makes for effortless living and entertaining, and the first floor bedroom with ensuite is perfect for guests or could continue its use as a home gym. Completing the first level are two half baths, coat closets, option for a stacked washer-dryer, two stairways, and an elevator with access to all three floors.

From the primary bedroom, one can enjoy privacy and serenity- the space filled with natural light from dusk to dawn. French doors open to a veranda, overlooking the pool. Accompanying the primary bedroom is a sitting area, two large walk-in closets, and wet-bar with fridge. The ensuite, with its large picture window, fills the space with natural light just as well, and is outfitted with a wall-length vanity with dual sinks, second vanity for self-care, soaking tub, shower, and water closet with bidet- all adorned with an intricate mosaic marble flooring.

Joining the three additional bedrooms, each with ensuite and walk-in closets is a large playroom/office with cathedral ceiling, and a sixth bedroom/ guest-quarters with ensuite on the second level is accessed from a private staircase accompanied with kitchenette and sitting
area.

The basement is outfitted with a media room to include projector and screen, game and billiards room, wet-bar, large wine room with hand-painted ceilings, two built-in wine refrigerators and half bath making this home truly a dream for those who enjoy entertaining, while simultaneously living efficiently on a daily basis.
