Ridgewood
A divine wooded abode gets an exceptional outdoor entertainment space. Ventures began by excavating out a forced walkup entry to the basement and adding an elevated deck off the 2nd story master suite. Below the elevated deck is a covered outdoor kitchen and lounge with tongue and groove ceiling, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. The lounge surrounds a gas-fueled outdoor fireplace with a mounted all-weather TV above. The kitchen features a built-in grill, sink, refrigeration, storage, and bar seating. The stone veneer used for the kitchen and bar was added to the base of the home and walls of the walkout basement for a cohesive and modern aesthetic.
Stepping out from the covered kitchen and lounge, the custom patio continues with a gunite pool, spa, and pergola. The patio is laid in a modular pattern with Techo Bloc Blu 60 random in beige cream. A double soldier border with inlay emphasizes the patio's unique fan-shaped footprint. A raised tanning shelf sits just above the pool with three sheer descent waterfalls cascading into the Persian blue water. The masonry on the tanning shelf features a beautiful woven diamond inlay pattern. The Persian blue pool is designed in a custom fan shape, mirrored by the surrounding patio. The pool’s raised spa features a sitting ledge, limestone coping, and spillover. On the far side of the patio is a custom pergola offering partial shade to an outdoor dining and lounge area.
A wrought-iron-inspired fence surrounds the pool area and beautifully landscaped garden beds fill the space between the house and patio. The pool, landscape, and under coping lights illuminate the space at night, creating a perfect, tranquil backyard oasis.
