Description
No expense was spared in the design and construction of this magnificent home, one of the rare homes in Montreux situated above the Galena Creek. Here, the gentle cascading sounds of this alpine mountain stream can be heard from the rear English garden patio as well as from the covered terrace with an outdoor Kitchen and fireplace. This classical French chateau-inspired masterpiece features Alder wood cabinetry, trim and doors throughout the house. Every detail is impeccably crafted and perfectly polished. The main-level floors are handcrafted French walnut parquet and travertine, with the entire main-level kept toasty warm in winter by the hydronic floor heating system. The Great Room, with a 25-foot soaring ceiling with Alder beams and a massive stone fireplace and chimney, is a wonderful gathering area for family and friends. It includes a home theater system and a sunken wet bar with a new Sub Zero bar refrigerator. Nearby is a walk-in 350 bottle refrigerated wine cellar that will delight even the most sophisticated wine connoisseur. The enormous chef's kitchen features a new Glass-paneled Sub Zero Commercial refrigerator/freezer, two Thermador double wall ovens, a Thermador 6 burner professional cooktop with grill, a commercial exhaust system, a large walk-in pantry, two sinks, two Thermador dishwashers, and a large dining area. Adjoining the kitchen is an exquisite dining room, and across the foyer a large private office. The vast main-level primary bedroom suite, with an outdoor terrace overlooking the stream, includes an exceptional bathroom with steam shower, large whirlpool tub, and two enclosed water closets (one with a new Toto Neorest toilet). A huge closet and dressing room with a new Miele washer-dryer to supplement the home's primary laundry completes the owner's suite. Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, each with seating areas and large, luxurious ensuite baths. The mechanical systems in the home are all new, including new high-efficiency HVAC systems, a Control4 home automation system, and a new water purification system. The garage is massive, with room for three cars or trucks, and a golf cart that is included with the home. Simply put, this home is perfection in every way.
