2896 Cravenridge Drive NE A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the heart of Ashford Park. Originally designed and built as the builder's personal residence, this is anything but a typical investment-driven spec home. The combination of quality, square footage, exceptional lot, and high-end finishes is impossible to replicate in Ashford Park without building it yourself. Enter through a custom steel-and-glass front door into a dramatic 24-foot open foyer with herringbone hardwood floors and an elegant curved staircase. The entire main level features 12-foot ceilings, including an office/guest suite with its own fireplace, en-suite bath with handmade tile, walk-in closet, and pre-wiring for speakers. Formal and informal dining spaces overlook the private backyard. The living room features a custom limestone fireplace and one-of-a-kind white oak-lined dry bar with beverage refrigerator. The chef's kitchen offers extensive cabinetry to the ceiling, abundant drawers, an appliance garage, and a mix of white oak and painted cabinetry. Paneled 30-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer columns blend seamlessly into the cabinetry, while a custom Marmorino plaster hood sits above the 48-inch Wolf gas range. A true separate prep kitchen includes an additional oven, sink, dishwasher, microwave, cabinetry, adjustable floating shelves to the ceiling, and a beautiful handmade Zellige tile backsplash. Kitchen & living room are pre-wired for speakers. The powder room/(future) pool bath features a curved custom backsplash and rounded mirror. From the three-car garage, enter through a mudroom/hallway with custom closets, cabinetry, and built-in bench seating. A large four-panel sliding glass door opens directly from the main level to the covered rear porch and massive private, fenced backyard finished in Zoysia grass, with ample room for a future pool. An additional separate deck off the kitchen includes a dedicated gas line for grilling and entertaining. Upstairs, an entire wing is dedicated to the primary suite. Double doors open into a private foyer and wet bar before leading to the massive, vaulted bedroom with a stone-covered fireplace and views of the private wooded backyard. The vaulted primary bath features heated tile floors, separate vanities, wall-mounted plumbing fixtures, stone-trimmed mirrors, and an oversized zero-entry shower with double glass doors, slab bench seating, and four shower heads. A linen closet and spacious unfinished primary closet awaiting your personal touch, complete the suite. Four additional upstairs bedrooms each have their own en-suite baths and walk-in closets. The oversized laundry room includes two washer/dryer hookups, extensive cabinetry, hanging rods, and a deep utility sink. The finished basement features rare 10-foot ceilings, an additional bedroom and bathroom, private side entrance ideal for an au pair or in-law suite, a full wet bar, large entertainment room, and four additional rooms for a gym, golf simulator, theater, playroom, office, storage, or more. Built with four-sided brick and high-end Pella multi-grid windows on all four elevations, the home also features spray-foam insulation throughout, Rockwool soundproofing between floors, four fireplaces, super-high-efficiency HVAC systems you won't find on a typical spec build, gas lanterns, an epoxied three-car garage floor, and high side-mounted garage motors designed for future car lifts. With seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, approximately 9, 100 square feet under roof, substantial remaining impervious surface allowance for a future pool and hardscaping, and an exceptionally rare private walkout-from-the-main-level backyard, this home is truly one of a kind-designed with intention in every detail and around every turn.
