The Pond House at Somerset Meadows. Blue herons stop at the backyard pond now and then. The house is arranged so you would notice. Start on the front porch, where a water feature runs beside the entry. Inside, Brazilian walnut floors sit under tall windows and a gas fireplace, and the main level opens rather than divides, so the kitchen, dining, and living areas stay in conversation with one another. The kitchen is built to be cooked in. Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a custom gas range, double ovens, a copper sink, a large island, and a walk-in pantry. Covered patios and vine-lined spaces face the pond and its water feature. A main level office opens onto one of those patios, which makes a workday feel less like one. Upstairs, the primary suite looks toward the mountains under vaulted ceilings, with a five piece bath, jetted tub, oversized shower, and walk-in closet. The additional bedrooms each have a walk-in closet of their own. The lower level is finished for gathering. Travertine floors in the rec room, built-in surround sound, arched architectural details, a full bar with beverage refrigerator and dishwasher, a wine cellar, a bath, and a fifth bedroom for guests. Come stand at the pond near dusk and see who shows up.
