654 W Morse Blvd

Distinctive, inspirational & harmonious. This newly constructed contemporary estate was designed by internationally respected architect, Kamal Rizk. The unique fusion of innovative design, superior craftsmanship & luxury finishes shaped this almost 9,000 SF, 5 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom residence into the resort style, sanctuary in the city, that it is today. The design elements of the exterior fa ade include hand-cut limestone & a stunning, custom front door complete w/ bespoke hand forged hardware. Upon entry the retreat-like elegance of the great room is remarkable. This commodious space incorporates the foyer, formal living, dining, bar & family rooms. It seamlessly opens to the outside via a Pella made wall of sliding glass. Italian wood flooring & elaborate millwork are appreciated features as well as modern lighting, custom window treatments & sound operated w/ ease via Lutron. Beyond the family room is the kitchen & hidden scullery where livable luxury resides. Poliform cabinetry, Cambria countertops & top of the line appliances complete these spaces. The showcase glass enclosed floor to ceiling wine refrigeration anchors the kitchen & artfully displays up to 975 bottles. The outdoor living is a natural extension of the interior spaces & features a courtyard style pool complete w/ a hand carved, granite rear wall & 16' linear fire feature. The kitchen terrace offers a DCS grill, motorized screens, cooling misters & more. A private office, lounge & 1.5 bathrooms complete the downstairs. Bathrooms on both levels showcase elevated selections from Boffi, Zucchetti, Poliform, Inbani, Paffoni & other iconic brands that enforce the refined, contemporary style & quality throughout. Notable Lighting in the office, lounge & throughout include artistic fixtures by FLOS, Moooi, Serge Mouille, Round & Hill, Tom Dixon & more. Access to the 2nd floor is possible via the elevator or stairwell. The upper floor is composed of the primary suite, 2 alternate bedroom suites, a 2nd office/flex room w/ en-suite bath, laundry room, gym & guest apartment. Through a soft entry, discretely located at the rear of the property, the dreamy primary bedroom was designed with a private terrace & hidden closet entry. The closets are part luxury boutique, part meticulously organized space w/ Poliform customization, motion activated light & windows w/ motorized shades made w/ UV protection to shield the interior spaces. The elegant approach to the primary bath includes floating vanities secured to stone covered walls, glass enclosed shower, standalone tub, custom-made dressing table & private water closet. Set apart from the primary, the remaining spaces are finished w/ consistent quality & design. With flawless connection the guest apartment may be used as an extension of the main home or it can be securely separated at a point just beyond the gym. The current owners use one of the bedroom suites as a craft room which opens to the guest apartment's main living spaces; the family room, full kitchen w/ island seating, laundry & a final bedroom suite. Above is a magical roof top terrace. The resident's entry is at the rear of the property, via a concealed driveway where guest parking is also available. Resident access is via the 4-car garage & a hidden door which opens directly into the kitchen. In this haven of opulent serenity, you may live the life you want, where you want it.
