Step through the double doors with frosted glass panels and enter a realm where modern sophistication intertwines with whimsical charm.
McKinlay Rose Interiors has meticulously crafted a residence that embodies opulence and warmth. The open-concept floor plan flows seamlessly with a sophisticated palette of whites, creams, and grays, serving as a serene canvas for vibrant art that enlivens the space.
“We really wanted to balance out a cohesive design and clean palette to elevate the open floor plan for comfortable living,” says Melanie Rose, Owner and Designer.
The family room is a sanctuary for relaxation, featuring a custom sectional that invites leisurely afternoons and cinematic escapes. The tray ceiling, a masterful architectural detail, adds an element of grandeur, making the room feel both expansive and intimate.
The kitchen is nothing short of a chef’s dream, showcasing exquisite quartzite countertops with mitered edges that are as resilient as they are beautiful. Suspended above the island, three sleek pendant lights cast a warm, inviting glow, while a graceful curved hood with brass accents becomes the stunning centerpiece over the state-of-the-art glass-top range. The space inspires culinary adventures and memorable meals.
Flowing from the kitchen, the breakfast nook offers a cozy setting for morning coffee with a round table and plush seating for six. The dining room, adorned with a crystal chandelier and modern mirrors, is ready to impress. Custom artwork by Kurt Giehl, inspired by Grecian waters, enhances the elegance of the space.
The bonus room is where exuberance takes center stage, featuring sophisticated sconces and a glamorous tile backsplash. An under counter wine cooler holds 36 bottles of favorite wines, ready to serve at the perfect temperature. A vibrant artwork of Popeye the Sailor Man adds a playful touch, making this room perfect for entertaining.
The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, complete with a freestanding tub beneath a polished chandelier and a spa-like shower. Double vanities offer plenty of storage. The office, designed for creativity and focus, features soothing tones and a whimsical Donald Duck artwork, reminding us to not take life too seriously. A credenza keeps work essentials neatly tucked away.
Step outside to the patio, where plush seating and a view of the rectangular pool create an inviting atmosphere. A conveniently located pool bath boasts a striking wall covering that adds modern elegance.
McKinlay Rose Interiors has created a residence that reflects both refinement and playfulness, where every detail is thoughtfully curated.
Owner and Designer Kristen McKinlay notes, “Our goal was to create a home that inspires relaxation and celebration, balancing sophistication with a touch of whimsy.” M
