Extraordinary Estate: Bermuda Run home offers amazing views and distinctive style

One of the great attractions of Bermuda Run is the diversity of housing styles. As an established, upscale golf-course neighborhood, Bermuda Run features an eclectic mix of high-end properties encompassing everything from stately traditionals to one-of-a-kind customs, and luxury homes in almost every design category are well-represented.

For buyers with contemporary leanings, 179 River Hill Drive is a must-see. Anchored on a cul-de-sac lot with incredible views of the golf course and accompanying ponds, 179 River Hill Drive is visually stunning from every vantage point, from the distinctive entrance to the spacious veranda overlooking the course.

“This is an exquisite, architecturally designed home that offers unparalleled views,” said Yost & Little Realty’s John-Mark Mitchell. “The versatile, open floor plan and soaring ceilings add to the ‘wow’ factor of this unique estate.”

A circular drive winds in front of 179 River Hill Drive, leading visitors to the colorful purple hues of the entrance. Just beyond the front doors, a vast expanse of light from the floor-to-ceiling windows infuses the family room with cheerful ambiance, bringing the natural beauty of the outside into the main living area. Spacious enough to function for several purposes, the family room also includes a custom bar and easy access to the veranda, an ideal combination for relaxed gatherings with family and friends.

The black and white tones of the kitchen are dramatic. Open to the second floor, the kitchen features top-of-the-line amenities as well as a sunny eat-in area perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. Past the kitchen, the main-level master suite includes custom built-ins that surround the bed.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and an open playroom provide flexible space for kids or guests. For empty nesters, the space can easily be used for a home office, exercise room or guest suite.

The basement level of 179 River Hill Drive is full of wonderful surprises. It features a quiet wine cellar, spacious enough for impromptu tastings and cozy enough for romantic meals for two. Reminiscent of photos in gourmet wine magazines, the cellar immediately transports visitors to another realm.

Behind one of the wine-storage walls, visitors will find a “secret” room. Ideal for poker night or kids’ sleepovers, the space is fun and flexible.

Mitchell said that the unique features of 179 River Hill Drive will appeal to buyers looking for an elegant, spacious home with distinctive details.

“It’s hard to get anyone to leave the great room after they walk in the front door because of the views,” he said. “I truly love showing this property to potential buyers because of their reaction to all of the amenities the home offers.”

This Extraordinary Estate at 179 River Hill Drive will be open today from 2 to 4 p.m. To see the home, take 1-40 West to the Highway 801 exit; turn left and continue past the intersection with Highway 158 to the Bermuda Run entrance on the left; enter Bermuda Run and continue straight to a left turn on River Hill; the house is at the back of the cul-de-sac.
