The new Burdick Inspiration Home evokes the old world charm of grand villas of Tuscany while enveloping homeowners in state-of-the-art technology combining energy efficiency and luxuriant comfort. Stepping through wrought iron gates into the courtyard with gurgling fountain, the great masters who flourished in the time of Cosmo de Medici would marvel at the beauty of the architecture - blending the rustic and the polished, the ancient with the modern, the strength of materials paired with subtle palettes of time-worn color.

Hand-cut natural stone including limestone, travertine and marble nobly blend with massive wooden beams, hand-stenciled ceilings and vaulted barrel ceilings of rustic brick found throughout the home.

At the heart of this 6,760 square foot dwelling is the kitchen, a mecca for entertaining and family gathering featuring the most modern of culinary conveniences. Energy Star appliances include a Subzero refrigerator and separate a Subzero freezer, 2 Asko dishwashers, Bosch built-in coffee and cappuccino machine and a commercial-grade Wolf range paired with a deep frier and a steam cooker for the creation of memorable meals.

The Inspiration Home's master suite is a respite from the cares of the everyday world. The master bath features a walk-in steam shower and a spa room that opens to a private garden set with a Mediterranean fountain surrounded by lush foliage. His & hers closets with fabulous built-ins, a coffee maker and mini-frig complete the opulent suite.

The beautiful brick ceilinged study with a hidden room is nearby. A media room with Lutron automated lighting controls and electronic window shade are put into motion with the touch of a button, offering theatre-style comfort for big screen movie enjoyment.

An INDOOR/OUTDOOR room features a 16 ft glass wall that disappears, blending the well appointed faux-stone game room with the outdoor living area flanked by a fireplace and outdoor flat screen TV. This spectacular retreat overlooks the pool with natural stone grotto that is reached by swimming under a cascading waterfall. A stone clad, heated hot tub and beach entry into the pool make this a gorgeous vista and desired destination.

Energy efficiency throughout the Inspiration Home gives residents both serenity and savings. Three Rinnai tankless gas water heaters - all located less than 30-feet away from their point of use - offer an endless supply of hot water on demand, yet only produces what is needed. Lutron lighting controls throughout the home afford customized lighting that create ambient light settings for greater comfort and efficiency. Filtered water from a sodium free water treatment system  is one of several “green” aspects of the home.
