Rick Buttorff unveils the elegant Valeria Bella Casa, designed by Kathy Hatfield, and interior by Tracee Dore. This 2,790 square foot two-story house embodies a romantic European charm that is certain to meet the needs of today’s family lifestyle.
The monochromatic brick veneer accentuates the Italianate-style exterior, which translates more of the Italian architectural heritage with corbels and stone accents. An intriguing cupola sits majestically atop the Valeria Bella Casa, creating head-turning curb appeal. A quaint front porch stoop introduces a custom-designed and crafted mahogany arched top door, which opens to a formal entry hall that includes French doors that walk out onto a large front porch.
Once inside, a magnificent great room showcases a beautiful hearth and numerous windows that invite Valeria Bella Casa’s natural surroundings to play a role in the interior design. The open floor plan includes a spacious gourmet kitchen equipped with professional line appliances, a large walk-in pantry and plenty of counter space. A large kitchen island invites young chefs to join in the culinary experience and create something they too can be proud of. A unique beamed ceiling adds intrigue and texture to a space that's certain to be shared and enjoyed.
Just beyond, a beautiful arched entryway leads to a formal dining room that showcases a groin vaulted ceiling. Serving as the heart of the home, the dining space encourages visiting guests to keep their forks and stay a little longer for dessert. More than likely, they'll accept that offer, and head out to the screened porch to enjoy an after-dinner cocktail to admire the fountain and gorgeous landscaping. A rear entry leads to a spacious laundry room with a utility sink and offers access to the two-car garage. The oversized two car garage has a well placed utility staircase to gain access to the rear storage of the basement.
Continuing the arched entry theme, the master suite is tucked within its own private hallway and is introduced by a creative art niche and double doors. The spacious master suite features a radius cove ceiling and beautiful views of the side lawn. An enormous walk-in closet with a built-in seat and shelving create an organized space homeowners will appreciate on busy weekday mornings. The master bath is breathtaking with a dome ceiling and unique accent lighting. An elegant tub is gracefully positioned within a bay window nook, tempting homeowners to draw a hot bath on a nightly basis. An extra large shower competes for attention in the incredible spa-like retreat.
A trip upstairs in the Valeria Bella Casa will encourage upward glances toward the stunning cupola. A beautiful wrought iron balcony on the second level offers a bird's eye view of the grand foyer and a closer view inside the cupola. Two spacious bedrooms and a bath are located on the upstairs. The lower level of the home has been strategically designed for future plans to finish it for additional living and entertaining space.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, this Energy Star qualified home features a duel fuel high efficiency Carrier HVAC system, low E windows and foam walls and an encapsulated roofline.
The Buttorff Company offers homeowners a truly unique residence worthy of admiration and appreciation for its charming architectural personality. Valeria Bella Casa is home that guests won't forget, and one that they'll anxiously await for another invitation to enjoy.
