5800 Armstrong Parkway     Orchestrated by the discerning eye of the current-owner-designer, with the assistance of architect Richard Drummond Davis, builder, Tory Gustafson and landscaper, Robert Bellamy, this French inspired Mediterranean will stand the test of time for notable Residences in The Park Cities.   From the Vermont graduated- slate roof to the manicured sculpture garden and outdoor living space, every inch of this project has been meticulously attended. Intimating comfortable sophistication, textiles such as quartzite, French limestone, Jerusalem stone, honed granite, soapstone and a myriad of tiles from Ann Sachs seamlessly coexist with antique appointments throughout the property.   Graciously proportioned the entry and honed marble staircase insinuate luxury without ostentation. Shunning the convention of a center hall stairway, the flanking social spaces of the dwelling sprawl from a barrel-ceilinged gallery. One touch, Lutron lighting is particularly appreciated here and the accompanying herringbone wood flooring requires no carpet.  Perhaps the crown jewel of the south wing is an unanticipated solarium.  Bathed in light from surrounding cut-limestone walls and Pella (low 'e-arch-series') windows/doors, this inviting haven is easily secluded by antique, mirrored-pocket doors that have been imported from a Parisian apartment.   The oversized study additionally enters through French, antique doors and functions as a true library with abundant shelving, quarter-sawn white oak paneling, a retractable presentation screen and a lighted, coved ceiling.   Crown molding throughout the first floor is plaster and the entry hall ceiling panel is adorned with custom pediments and halogen lighting.   The formal, central wet bar is introduced by an intricate, limestone mosaic patterned floor and is central to the main dining areas.   Equipped to entertain, the restaurant-style kitchen is home to a double Wolfe commercial- type oven/cooktop, in addition to 2 built-in oven units for a total of 4 ovens!  A series of 3 dishwashers including one Fisher and Paykel and two Miele maximize efficiency after dinner.  Along the same grand scale there is a double refrigerator and an espresso maker. Cat 5 wiring is available here, in this home's busy 'hub' along with cable for TV, IPad, etc.  Cherry Cabinetry compliments a honed black granite island and soapstone outer countertops.  Another nod to thoughtful planning, the food pantry is also a 'safe' room if ever necessary. Defined by a stone archway and equipped with a wall mounted TV, the nook is serviced by a pass-through from the kitchen and is a restful retreat.   Ascension from the ground floor to the second level and main sleeping quarters is available by a front or back staircase as well as by the central elevator.   More than gracious, the master retreat is serene and spa-"esque" from the special lighting to the romantic balcony overlooking an architecturally significant fountain and sculpture garden in the Bellamy landscape below.  Dual baths offer accoutrements to soothe away daily stress such as an oversized steam shower, heated mirrors, a deep, jetted tub and ample closets outfitted for the clothes-horse.  A coffee bar with refrigerator and over-bed reading lights are indulgent conveniences.  Conjoining the bedroom is an ideal exercise space which is also nicely sized for a smaller office.   Not too close to the master yet located in the main family wing of the dwelling is a bright and cheerful bedroom suite that enjoys its own living quarters.  Adorned with Ann Sachs tile, jetted tub and large closet, this comfortable arrangement offers immediate access to the back stairs, laundry with a sink and drip-dry shower. An extra bonus just a step away is a walkable, finished-out craft /exercise /storage room (including a myriad of cubbies for organization). Electrical components are easily accessed from this thoughtfully carved-out space    Complete with a cedar closet, this entire wing can be locked from the inside for absolute privacy.   Down the hall the third bedroom is male-inspired with gentleman-height honed marble countertops and Jerusalem stone surround.  Possessing its own jetted tub and shower combination, guests may choose to linger.   A secondary master has been designed as the 4th bedroom and completely inspires "zen" repose and rejuvenation.  Attached to the covered, stone balcony the suite allows lovely views and plenty of natural light.  For insomniacs, custom-retractor drapes with black-out shades automatically close keeping out the glare.  Natural stone and iridescent tiles surround the Japanese soaking tub and separate shower.   Currently serving as a secondary home office, the third floor is resembles a cozy attic with extended, windowed eaves and spans a central spine of approximately 25 feet.  The elevator reaches this level for easy transport and a generously scaled full bathroom and closet enable the ability for a secluded 5th bedroom.   The Garage and porte-cochere structure houses 4 covered parking spots as well as full quarters above the 3-car garage.  Having a private, keyless entry and access to the front and alley rolling gates, this dwelling is isolated from the home.  Housing a kitchenette with a granite eating bar, living area and separate bedroom and bath, this apartment offers flexible possibilities.   Embracing the same architectural integrity of the home, the exterior redefines "outdoor" living.  Intricate stone pavers and other natural textiles provide interesting hardscape while specially selected flora and plants envelope gurgling fountains and verandas.  Shielded from the elements by the upper balcony, a pizza oven and cooking center conjoin the open-air conversation patio with the rest of the purposefully integrated landscape.
