Maranello
By David Bright
Bright Built Homes, Inc.
 The 7,412 square foot Maranello offers a compelling front exterior with a dynamic copper-accented gable that announces two arched mahogany and beveled glass doors. A circular drive extends an open invitation for visiting friends and family who are dropping by for a swim in the beautiful pool around back. Brown-toned brick and stone adorn an assortment of interesting architectural elements, including a massive chimney and head-turning turret. Bright Built Homes' one-and-a-half story traditional walkout includes four bedrooms, four full baths and two powder rooms. Graceful shutters, bullnose brick and keystones accent numerous windows. The beautiful front porch entry suggests the Maranello is a home where you'll most certainly feel welcomed.
An 18-foot ceiling, beautiful marble and an incredible wooden spiral staircase greet guests in the spacious foyer. Nearby, the dining room is offset by columns and features a 10-foot ceiling with arched soffits. Hardwood flooring, a gorgeous chandelier, built-in furniture nook and two-piece chair rail add additional elegance. A triple window with transoms allows for natural light to emphasize the true architectural beauty of the dining space. A few steps away is a dedicated wine closet and a butler's pantry.
Entertaining is encouraged within the Maranello with additional conveniences throughout the home, including a wine chilling cabinet in the kitchen. Antique cream maple cabinets with a brown glaze complement the beautiful hand scraped hardwood floor that is featured throughout the kitchen and much of the main level. A black distressed island with a maple glaze and granite countertops present a beautiful landscape for the culinary artist. Built-in double ovens and a custom wood hood over the gas range allow homeowners to enjoy cooking with style and purpose. An open view of the breakfast and hearth rooms allows for casual conversation and a relaxed atmosphere for family members as they catch up on each other's day. The hearth room boasts a beautiful stone fireplace and plenty of room for guests to mingle before dinner. The breakfast room features beautiful views of the backyard and pool and has access to the covered patio.
A nearby mud room gets everyone organized with built-in cubbies, and a quaint covered stoop welcomes backdoor guests. The laundry room features beige tile, stained maple cabinets, a sink and folding table. Two powder rooms are located on the main level. A four-car garage offers an added benefit with a built-in car lift.
Positioned within the heart of the Maranello is the grand room, which is certain to be an ideal venue for many celebrations to come. With views of the beautiful in-ground pool, the space highlights the incredible attention to detailed craftsmanship that builder David Bright offers in all his homes. Three-piece crown moulding, wainscotting, columns and chair rail contribute to the graceful character of the two-story gathering space. Four arched transoms hover above the double atrium French doors that lead to the covered patio. Beautiful built-in bookshelves feature arched designs and keystones. The granite fireplace showcases a wood mantel and an arched panel above with round columns and key stone accents.
A spacious study offers homeowners a place to enjoy a good book by the fire. A wall-and-a-half of built-in bookcases will certainly keep literary collections in order and on display. A private entrance hallway leads to an incredible master suite where large walk-in his and hers closets with wood shelving encourage organization and make morning routines less hectic. The master bedroom features a mirrored wall and built-in bookcases as well as a double tray ceiling with three levels of crown moulding. A beautiful windowed sitting area offers an additional place to rest and relax. The master bath showcases chiseled travertine and a gorgeous granite-topped tub with a tiled skirt. The enormous walk-in shower is highlighted with glass mosaic tiled windows and features dual heads and a body spray feature. Cherry cabinets with a black glaze, granite countertops and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures accent this incredible bathing area.
Family members will have their choice of pathways to the second level, with staircases in both the foyer and great room. Upstairs, two bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a large bonus room are featured. Open balconies provide the benefit of window light in the two-story spaces below. Homeowners have the option of adding a future bedroom and bath within the unfinished space.
Homeowners can get away from it all in the lower level where a wet bar, theater room and spacious entertaining area offer a better alternative to a night on the town. A beautiful hearth area adds continued warmth and a place for friends to gather in the lower level. The large exercise room provides ample room to stretch and bend, while the adjoining sauna offers an incentive to make it through that workout. An extra-large bedroom and bath give guests a comfortable place to enjoy their visit.
