Property Details
Gorgeous Tuscan Villa With Breathtaking Mountain And Sunset Views! Offering a slice of Old World Italy in the heart of Greenville, this amazing home in the Villagio de Montebello will make you wonder if you teleported to Greenville’s sister city, Bergamo, Italy. The architect sure outdid themselves on this one, as they not only designed a stunning home, but also worked out a way to fit one of the largest homes in the Villagio on the lot, and also angled all the main living areas and verandas to perfectly face the long-range mountain views and the spectacular sunsets. Located just 10 minutes from Downtown Greenville, and zoned for some of the best schools in SC, Summit Elementary, Sevier Middle and Wade Hampton High, Montebello is arguably the most beautiful neighborhood in Greenville, thanks to it’s combination of mountain views, gorgeous European architecture, Piney Mountain location, wonderful amenities (clubhouse, pool, playground and tennis courts), and neighborhood woods, lakes and parks. When you first enter the front door of this beautiful home, you will be greeted by a soaring two-story foyer and gleaming hardwood floors that will lead you into the stunning great room. The great room features an incredible wood ceiling, a 2-sided fireplace that goes through to the patio, and five 8-foot arched steel glass doors that open to the patio and veranda. The doors were specially designed and handcrafted for this home, and they not only provide an inordinate amount of natural light, but when they are all opened, they integrate the main interior and exterior living areas of the home almost into one. The great room is adjoined by the dining room, an office, and the gourmet kitchen, which features custom cabinets, an oversized island, granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, a farm sink, and a stainless steel appliance package that includes a subzero fridge, a double drawer dishwasher, and a 6-burner gas stove with a built-in griddle and a double convection oven. Also on the main level of the home is the junior master suite, which features a full bath with a mosaic tile shower, the nicest laundry room you will ever find, as it features two full walls of custom cabinets, a drop zone, a utility sink, and a built-in laundry rack, and also a powder room. There are marvelous outdoor living areas on both levels, and the main level offers both a patio area that features the other half of the 2-sided fireplace from the great room, and also a full-length veranda, with a wood ceiling and gas lamps, that was specially designed to maximize the mountain views. The master suite is on the second level and features a gas-log fireplace, a double-tray ceiling, a walk-in closet with custom shelving, a private full–length veranda, identical to the one below, and a master bath with custom tile floor, dual sinks, a towel warmer, a Jacuzzi tub, and a tile shower with body sprayers. Also on the second level of the home are two guest bedrooms, both of which have a door opening to a private balcony on the rear of the home, a guest bathroom, and a bonus room that is thoughtfully split into two separate living areas. There is also a single room in the basement that was once a wine cellar and would be a perfect location for multiple uses, including possibly a theater room. In all, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 4,300 square feet, a 3-car side-entry garage, and features such as 9 foot ceilings on both levels, wrought iron spindles in the staircase and banister, terracotta tile roof, prewired speakers inside and out, in-ground sprinkler, gorgeous landscaping, and so much more. Please note that the HOA in the Villagio includes weekly lawn care and year round landscaping care, including tree and hedge trimming, leaf removal, and twice a year mulch. This awesome home is priced to sell at $1,550,000!
