Home Details for 51 Krier Lane

Offered for sale for the first time, 51 Krier Lane is a stunning custom home conceived by one of I'On's founders. The large and private lot was carefully selected for its dual water frontage on Westlake and Jefferson Canal, with western exposure offering sunset views across the lake. Designed by nationally acclaimed architects at Merrill, Pastor & Colgan, and built by Daly & Sawyer, this striking home was built to be a timeless legacy estate. The walled drive court creates an enclosed and private sense of arrival, with two garages anchoring the court, and a garden gate providing an entrance into the serene courtyard. The spacious courtyard is fully walled and offers a wonderful place to entertain and enjoy well designed outdoor space. Entry into the home reveals an elegant great roomwith soaring sixteen foot ceilings and large banks of windows overlooking Westlake and bringing in generous amounts of natural light. The main living area is anchored by a fireplace and built-in bookcases at one end, and dining area at the other. One of the living room bookcases doubles as a cleverly concealed door into a private office, providing a comfortable hidden workspace with lake views. Doors from the living and dining area open into a generous covered loggia overlooking the lake, with high ceilings and ample depth to comfortably furnish the space for year-round outdoor living. A central stair hall provides the hub connecting the dining area to the kitchen, with an innovative glass tube elevator installed in the stairwell, and a clearstory structure delivering light into the center of the home. Equipped with a Wolf range, custom vent hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and custom cabinetry, the kitchen is ideal for serious cooks. A comfortable family room extends from the kitchen, framed by courtyard views on one side, and canal views on the other. Between the den and the garage there is a beautiful and cozy den, flooded with natural light from southern exposure over the canal, the perfect room for reading, games, music or relaxation. An interior door from the den offers direct entrance into the house from the garage, while a second door leads to stairs up to the bunkroom above the garage, complete with its own full bath. 51 Krier offers the flexibility of a second primary suite which is located on the first floor off the end of the main living area. This ground-level suite serves to enclose the courtyard and provide a private retreat from the living areas, and has a large en suite bath, downstairs laundry space, and walk-in closet.
