2651 Sporting Hill Bridge Rd

When you drive into Bridgemore Village down the tree-lined boulevard, this home is the reason you slow down — there's nothing else like it in the neighborhood. Built by its own builder as his personal home, it was designed around a backyard made for entertaining a hundred people in total privacy. Step outside into a resort of your own: a shimmering gunite pool with a Pebble Sheen finish & a stone beach entry, stone seating stretching the length of the water, & an oversized spa for eight that spills into the pool beneath a cascading 24-foot rock waterfall. A gas fire pit with built-in seating glows nearby, & a complete outdoor kitchen anchors it all — 3 built-in grills, dual refrigeration, & an ice maker — alongside a tucked-away outdoor bathroom & shower. Manicured landscaping wraps the entire scene in a seclusion so complete the neighbors simply disappear. This backyard garden of paradise was awarded "World's Greatest Pool" in 2018! Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings & 3 arched openings frame a 2-story entry bathed in light from walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, front & back. Beyond the arches, a 2-story great room centers on a fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, & a private home office with its own fireplace & an oversized window makes for a quiet place to work from home. The kitchen runs on 72-inch Sub-Zero refrigeration, double Wolf ovens, a six-burner gas cooktop, an oversized island with a prep sink, & a hidden pull-out stand for the KitchenAid mixer. A walk-in pantry, a floor-to-ceiling wine cabinet, a butler's pantry, & an eat-in dining space round it out. On the main level sits the primary and guest beds, both ensuite, & upstairs, a bonus room, jack-and-jill beds, plus a large bunkroom offers space for a crowd. With 5 total beds & 3 full/3 half baths, there's room for family, guests, or both at once! Add in a covered front porch and a screened back porch, & this is a storybook retreat where every day feels like vacation — without ever leaving home.
