Thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed, 17 Gilmer Way is a one-of-a-kind luxury residence that commands attention while remaining perfectly balanced within its corner lot setting. Positioned just above street level, the home offers a striking yet understated street presence—showcasing its scale and architectural sophistication without overpowering its surroundings. The exterior is a timeless blend of brick and limestone Lueders stone, complemented by premium black windows and iron front doors. Professionally designed landscaping frames the home and flows seamlessly along the wraparound driveway, creating a polished arrival experience from every angle. Inside, the home opens to a dramatic two-story foyer highlighted by a porcelain tile inlay surrounded by 7-inch, site-finished white oak flooring that continues throughout the main level. Twelve-foot ceilings define the main floor, while custom tray ceilings with integrated LED lighting add depth and refinement to the dining room, parlor, great room, and primary suite. The kitchen is both elevated and functional, featuring semi-custom cabinetry that delivers exceptional quality without compromise. A waterfall island anchors the space, while layered LED lighting—under toe kicks, above cabinetry, and within glass-front cabinets—creates warmth and visual interest. Notably, every fixture and finish throughout the home was selected by the homeowners themselves, a rare and impressive accomplishment in luxury custom construction. Just beyond the kitchen, a vaulted keeping room, pantry/scullery, and grilling porch support both daily living and entertaining. The home also includes a four-car garage and an elevator servicing all three levels, ensuring convenience and long-term livability. The main-level primary suite is expansive and thoughtfully arranged, featuring separate sleeping and sitting areas. Dual closets lead to a spa-like primary bathroom with soaring vaulted ceilings reaching approximately 20 feet. A freestanding tub sits in front of a double-entry shower, complemented by an electric fireplace and LED-lit niche. Inside the shower, multiple shower heads and an illuminated bench create a true retreat experience, while separate water closets complete the space. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with over 600 square feet of covered back porch featuring a fireplace, plus an additional covered terrace-level porch below—perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Upstairs, custom wrought-iron railings and detailed trim work guide you to three additional bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two bonus rooms, and a dedicated retreat/media room. The terrace level adds an additional 3,195 square feet, offering another great room, kitchenette, salon, bedroom, and a fully equipped home gym.
