Villa Urbana, truly the best of what modern architecture, engineering and design has to offer. Sited to take maximal advantage of dramatic water-front views, the project was 3 years in the making and was finished in 2003. This grand 2,000 M2 (21,600 square foot) residence is equally well suited as a spacious private residence, or as a truly elegant corporate headquarters that makes a design statement. Four expansive master suites, each with en suite bathrooms, could serve as office space if utilized as a corporate headquarters. Walls of glass overlooking the water, skylights and expansive 3 story ceilings with open foyer space between public rooms, affords great flexibility to use spaces such as the living, dining and family rooms as conference, banquet or ballrooms. These ample spaces are conveniently designed for large scale entertaining of hundreds of guests/clients but work equally well for a family, allowing one to escape without being cut off from the rest of the household. The expansive main kitchen is a sleek and modern gourmet chef’s delight. The indoor pool, mirrored gym, wet and dry saunas, and adjacent spa kitchen, (all on one level), will certainly spoil one lucky family, but could be easily envisioned as a health club for the fortunate corporate executives and guests. In addition, there’s a wine cellar, fireplace, billiard room/library, home cinema, elevator, security room, service floor, basement and additional storage rooms. The expansive grounds are well suited as a playground for children with uninterrupted open space to run and play sports of all kinds, safely within the security of a walled and gated environment. With a total lot size of 3800 M2, (41,000 square feet) these grounds are truly large enough to serve as an entire school playground, with the added benefit of being easily supervised by views from all levels of the main residence. A second story outdoor terrace serves as even more outdoor entertaining space with views of the grounds and the water. A spacious and elegantly designed garage large enough for 6 vehicles with additional covered parking for up to 4 more vehicles (with room for limousines) gives this property added value in terms of flexibility of use. Touring the property one will be struck by the luxurious use of open space, the elegant vaulted ceilings and sky lights, the water views from almost every room, and the advantageous and dramatic use of natural light. Exquisite marble and hardwood floors as well as top of the line appliances and finishes are evident throughout the home. Property sold fully furnished.
