500 Bell Lane

Some homes impress with finishes. Others with scale. This one makes its statement through something increasingly difficult to find: exceptional construction quality, thoughtful planning and engineering, and an unmistakable sense of permanence. Built over the course of two years and meticulously cared for ever since, this custom residence offers more than 4,500 square feet above grade plus an expansive daylight walk-out lower level. Commercial-grade, fire-rated drywall, fire-rated solid doors, extensive electrical infrastructure, 16 zones of radiant, hot water heating, 3-zone air conditioning, and a stunning architectural roof with a lifetime guarantee.Nicely elevated on 1.09 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home welcomes with a circular drive and substantial front entrance. Inside, marble flooring, a graceful curved staircase, rear stairs, and custom built-ins introduce the craftsmanship found throughout. A richly appointed Library features deep cherry cabinetry, while the generously proportioned Dining Room, complete with hardwired window candles and adjoining Butler's Pantry, was made for holidays and entertaining. The Kitchen is functional and inviting with a large center island, abundant cabinetry and counter space, high-end appliances, a custom home-management center, and spacious Breakfast Room with built-in bench seating and storage. An unexpected gas fireplace with mantel crafted with reclaimed cedar from Yosemite National Park creates the perfect niche for morning coffee, reading, or cocktails. The two-story Family Room delivers one of the home's signature moments: a soaring floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace crowned by a mantel also crafted from reclaimed cedar wood from Yosemite National Park. Custom built-ins flank the fireplace, integrated sound is discreetly tucked away, and even the chandelier lowers by key switch for easy cleaning and maintenance. True main-floor living is offered in the expansive Owner's Suite with a tray ceiling, private Sitting Room, deck access, and an oversized walk-in closet. The bath includes separate vanities, a steam lounge and shower, a jetted tub, and a private water closet. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each feature en-suite baths, accompanied by a generous Bonus Room. Adding tremendous flexibility is a private in-law/au-pair suite with its own exterior entrance, garage access, and full bathideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or independent living. Outdoor entertaining extends across an expansive rear deck, accessible from multiple rooms, and is substantial enough to have hosted many gatherings of up to 100 guests. The heated, three-plus-car garage has a tiled floor and offers a raised ceiling height and an existing automotive lift, effectively adding an additional parking space and accommodating four vehicles. A snow-melt system serves the garage perimeter and the rear walkway/covered porch area. The walk-out lower level may be the pice de rsistance, with full-daylight windows, remarkable cedar-lined storage, an incorporated handicap entrance, and abundant room for recreation, gaming, and entertaining. A third fireplace features an additional reclaimed-cedar Yosemite mantel, joined by a wet bar and a bath. Set among a handful of custom homes within an established neighborhood and backing to preserved space, this is more than an impressive home. This home was conceived carefully, built patiently, maintained exceptionally, and designed to endure. The quality level of materials, workmanship, and attention to detail may be its greatest luxury of all.
