Extraordinary Estate

By Cindy Hodnett

Years ago, when the number of million-dollar developments was limited to a select few in the Triad, the Bent Tree neighborhood became the benchmark for luxury homes. Today, dozens of high-end communities have sprung up around the Piedmont, but Bent Tree’s prestige has not been diminished. Set amid the rolling hills and wooded backdrops of the Shattalon and Robinhood Road area, the homes in Bent Tree offer lovely vistas and an impressive and extensive list of custom amenities.

This week’s Extraordinary Estate at 4610 Cherryhill Lane showcases all of the reasons luxury-home buyers choose Bent Tree. Set back from the road on 1.7 acres, this sprawling custom home blends upscale elegance with comfortable entertaining space and offers the appeal of living in a neighborhood created for discerning buyers.

"Bent Tree is a unique, one-of-a-kind development that set the standard for estate living in Winston-Salem," said Yost & Little Realty’s John-Mark Mitchell. "This home is nestled in a wooded, park-like setting, and the details and finishes are of the highest quality throughout the entire home."

A circular drive welcomes residents and guest to 4610 Cherryhill Lane, and two front entrances provide an interesting greeting space. The main entrance opens into the grand foyer, a stunning two-story space with an oversized chandelier, while the second entrance opens into a casual gallery, the ideal space for a cherished art collection.

To the left of the main entrance, an open dining room is defined by architectural columns that provide visual delineation from the foyer, and the room’s crystal chandelier is a breathtaking multifaceted prism on sunny days.

The main-level master suite is to the right of the foyer, and residents are certain to enjoy the panoramic views of the wooded surroundings. The master suite includes a large walk-in between the bath and bed area, convenient and private dressing space for homeowners. In the master bath, a large soaking tub is joined by a spacious separate shower and many "eye candy" details.

One of several common living areas at 4610 Cherryhill Lane incorporates the open kitchen and media room. Families will enjoy the easy access to food and beverage on routine days as well as during casual gatherings, and expansive windows provide lovely, year-round views over the multilevel deck, accessed through both the family room and master suite.

Brazilian cherry hardwood floors anchor the main level, and imported granite countertops add visual punch to the kitchen, as does a streamlined range hood that will appeal to contemporary-design aficionados.

Upstairs, a second master suite offers floor-plan flexibility for young families whose sleeping arrangements might change in the future. The library can be adapted as a sitting room for the master, and two additional oversized bedrooms provide ample space for family members of all ages.

"The outdoor entertainment deck stretches the entire length of the house, and there is a tremendous unfinished basement," Mitchell said. "New Atlantic Builders built this home and several others in Bent Tree, and while each home in the neighborhood is different, the neighborhood flows very well."

"There is nothing like finding a unique home that fits just right," Mitchell said. "This property will fit perfectly for a lot of buyers."

This Extraordinary Estate lists for $1,575,000, has four bedrooms, three full and two half-baths, and more than 5,800 square feet. The home is available for private showings. For more information, call John-Mark Mitchell of Yost & Little Realty at 336-768-1928.
