9715 Stonecross Bend is a meticulously constructed estate by Kickerillo that sits at the pinnacle of the lake in the prestigious community of Vintage Lakes. This elevator capable home has every amenity you can think of...a two-story home office, a master suite with a separate sitting area, his and her closets and water closets, a home gym, a theater room, a saltwater/heated pool, a home generator and much, much more.
9715 Stonecross Bend, a 10,875 square foot home with 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths and 2 half baths is zoned to the highly-regarded Klein Independent School District and is within a mile of St. Luke's Hospital for those individuals desiring first-class healthcare facilities close by or individuals working in the healthcare system.
As you open the steel double doors at the main entry of the home, you are immediately greeted by an Imperial staircase that perfectly frames the wall of glass which overlooks the lake.
Captured in this image is the main reception hall which measures 28' x 24 1/2'. You will notice the double volume windows that overlook the rear lawn in the foreground while the aforementioned lake is the largest body of water in Vintage Lakes.
From this perspective you will notice a dedicated space underneath the overhead mezzanine for your baby grand piano to the right.
To the left of the reception hall is this intimate sitting area that features built-in seating for 14, a three-sided fireplace and an access door to one of the outdoor verandas.
Here, a view looking back towards the main reception hall you will see the polished marble colonnade just beyond the great room that architecturally defines the formal living room.
The 22' x 16' dining room has a double tray ceiling lined in a platinum seagrass with a 15-pendant smoked mirror art installation. The three-piece, butt-joint glass continues the theme of extending the visual stimulation with views of the lake. To the left of frame is a butler's bar that affords additional service to the dining room and reception hall.
As you venture past the dining room, you will enter the more casual part of the home and find the breakfast room which is adjacent to the kitchen and family room.
The kitchen, which measures 20 1/2' x 18' has dual islands which is ideal for larger gatherings. The 1/2" thick Crema Marfil polished marbel floor continues into these rooms from the main reception hall.
The appliance package of this chef's kitchen include a 48" Wolf gas range with 6 burners and griddle, a Wolf warming drawer, dual Wolf 30" wall ovens and microwave, a 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator, 4 Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers and an undercounter beverage refrigerator.
Immediately adjacent to the kitchen and breakfast room is the family room with gas log fireplace and custom entertainment wall.
Yet another highly functional amenity of the home is the built-in desk to the left of the family room. This work station has proven to be an ideal spot for children to complete homework assignments while parents prepare meals in the conjoined kitchen. The French doors to the right lead to one of four covered outdoor living areas.
The first of four outdoor living areas measures 37' x 15' and overlooks the pool. This loggia has a mosquito misting system, in-ceiling speakers, three ceiling fans and a Fibonacci sequence-inspired beadboard ceiling detail.
Immediately next to the loggia is the outdoor kitchen which has a 48" natural gas grill with a Vent-A-Hood exhaust insert. The U-shaped kitchen also has a stainless utility sink to the right of frame along with bar height counters.
The spectacular resort-style, heated pool has numerous water features such as the grotto with cascading waterfall and several water walls in the center of the saltwater pool. 
Not to be overlooked is the 9' wide hot tub with the adjacent tanning deck that has three bubblers which allows another opportunity to create the soothing sound of moving water. To the right of the loggia you will find the outdoor salle à manger should you desire to entertain guests via alfresco dining.
Here you will find an aerial view of the rear lawn which shows the heated pool, outdoor dining area and loggia only consume about half of the backyard on this half-acre property. The four outdoor living areas, the first floor outdoor veranda, the first floor, southeast loggia, the second floor terrace deck off of the game room and the master terrace combine for an additional 2,000+ square feet of additional living area, not included in the 10,875 square feet.
As we step back into the family room from the loggia, you will better see how these three roomos all open up to each other. The arched vestibule to the right of the built-in desk leads to a three-car garage which has a ceiling height that can accommodate car lifts should you wish to expand its capacity from 3 vehicles to 6. To the left of the desk is a hallway that leads to a cabana bath, the downstairs laundry room, a rear stairwell and mud room that leads to the motor court as well as the se
This picture, form the 15 1/2' x 14' breakfast room shows a door way on the other side of the islands that lead to a large walk-in closet which then opens up to a second walk-in closet (ideal for fine china & silver). The hallway to the right of the island shows the curved opening that leads to the butler's pantry.
Here is another view of the oversized kitchen with its two islands. A couple of additional features worth mentioning are the home's water supply is run through a water softening system, there is a built-in vacuum system as well as a Generac natural gas generator which provides electricity to the home in the event of a power failure. The arched vestibule to the right leads us back towards the dining room and reception hall.
As we stand at the threshold of the walkway leading to the kitchen looking back towards the reception hall, you will notice another archway that leads to a couple more bonus rooms which include a downstairs bedroom with adjacent bath as well as a home fitness center.
This 16 1/2' x 15' home gym has 12' ceilings, walls of mirrors and north & south double pane windows with plantation shutters. To the right of the windows is a door that leads to the southeast loggia.
This loggia, located in the southeast corner of the property measures 36' wide and 20' in depth. As found on the other outdoor living area, you will notice three-blade ceiling fans, as well as in-ceiling speakers and a mosquito misting system.
The natural gas firepit is immediately next to the southeast loggia and adjacent to the playscape. With a total lot size of 22,757 square feet and all of these wonderful outdoor amenities, this estate is large enough to have a large swath of St. Augustine grass.
Being at the pinnacle of the lake, 9715 Stonecross Bend is a property that does not face another property on the other side of the lake. If this estate were positioned a couple of houses to the left or the right, it would be looking across the body of water at another residence. This is yet another detail worth pointing out about this incomparable home.
Here is one more view of the pool area which shows numerous seating options. Perched above is the terrace deck which is accessible via a spiral staircase next to the outdoor kitchen or through the second floor guest suite or the second floor game room.
Stepping back into the home and looking towards the grand foyer you will see the ceiling soars to 24'. To the right of the double doors at the entry is the two-story home office.
Hidden behind privacy glass doors is the 16' x 14' home office. This room has north facing windows with plantation shutters and a mezzanine level that is accessible through the master suite.
Coming back into the foyer from the home office to the left, we revisit the Imperial staircase, clad in Crema Marfil marble. Upon reaching the pinnacle of the landing, five bedrooms, a game room and theater room are located to the right while the wing to the left is dedicated to the master suite.
The master bedroom and sitting area measure 33' in length and 17' in width. Here you will find a three-sided gas-log fireplace, a double tray ceiling and three clerestory windows facing east.
The 18' x 18' master bathroom is truly a perfect example of what everyone asks for. Here you will find 'her vanity along with her own water closet and entry into her own closet. The opposite side of this bathroom is where you will find 'his' vanity and a second water closet. The hydrotherapy tub sits in front of the steam shower while the tub deck discreetly offers the functionality of a bench within the shower. Notice the numerous showerheads and body sprays in this lavish walk-in shower.
Photographed in this image is 'her' closet with numerous clerestory windows to provide natural light while maintaining privacy. The packing island doubles as a dresser with drawers seen in the front while a cedar-line closet is behind frame, not captured in this photograph.
The second closet on the opposite of the bathroom also has a packing island with numerous drawers along with custom millwork, a keyed-entry doorway to the right and a separate passageway that leads to the mezzanine level of the home office.
This image of the master suite shows the morning bar located to the left of the three-sided fireplace. The morning bar features a sink and undercounter beverage refrigerator making it an ideal amenity for someone desiring a beverage while not having to leave the confines of the master suite. On the other side of the fireplace is a sitting area with television and the door that leads to the private, master terrace.
The stone-clad, 65+/- square foot master terrace, only accessible through the master suite, is the ideal place to enjoy their morning beverage or apéritif at the end of the day. From this vantage point, while fully exposed to nature, you have the sense of solidarity. Become lost in a novel or enjoy the migration pattern of numerous birds that come to visit this extraordinary lake.
Immediately adjacent to the master suite, the mezzanine level of the home office can be accessed through a passageway off of the master suite or an adjacent hallway. Or for the one that years for two offices but doesn't want to lose a bedroom to make that happen, one could easily lay claim to this large space without impeding their partner's work area below.
This image shows numerous items that are worth mentioning aside from the hallway that leads to the theater room, the game room and five additional bedrooms. Notice the coffered ceiling with commissioned artwork detail on above the chandelier. And speaking of the magnificent chandelier, it is operated via a key when the time comes to have any dust removed from the fixture. On the opposite of the chandelier, you will see an hallway that acts as an art gallery and leads to the elevator shaft.
This 7-seat, dual level, theater room measures 21' x 15 1/2' and has a state-of-the-art projector along with a lighting feature that emulates twinkling stars while sitting in a cabriolet at a drive-in movie theater. To the right is the air-conditioned audio/visual closet where the home's Control4 system, internet and audio components are housed. Just on the other side of the wall from the theater room is an upstairs bar area, should beverages and snack be desired during the feature film.
The game room has a built-in entertainment wall along with a large closet that houses all of the boardgames, toys and other whimsical 'what nots'. The hallway to the right leads to the guest suite, rear stairs and upstairs laundry room.
The 27' x 20' game room has an adjacent wet bar with icemaker, undercounter beverage refrigerator, sink and dedicated space for a microwave. The door to the right leads to the covered terrace that overlooks the pool.
Measuring almost 500 square feet, this second floor terrace deck measures 35' x 13 1/2' and overlooks, not just the lake, but the pool and rear lawn. This outdoor living area can also be accessed directly from a private door off of the guest suite as well as a spiral staircase to the right of frame.
Here is another view of the backyard that focuses on the pool, outdoor dining area, the outdoor kitchen and the two levels of covered, outdoor living areas. One of the HOA requirements for Vintage Lakes is that each of the 135 residences must have a tile roof, which with routine maintenance is estimated to last 50 years while tile roofs in Europe have lasted for centuries.
Located on the second floor, we will find the master suite and five additional bedrooms, each with an en suite bath. Often times, a couple of the bedrooms may have inferior dimensions compared to the others, however, this is not the case at 9715 Stonecross Bend as the home's second floor secondary bedrooms each measure over 225 square feet, all with a walk-in closet that has a built-in dresser.
Here is one of the en suite bathrooms that are afforded to each of the second floor bedrooms. This bathroom is the guest suite's bathroom which is referred to as the 'guest suite' as it is adjacent to the rear stairs and has a private access door to the outdoor terrace. Should one have the need for an au pair that yearns to not interrupt the goings on with the family and exit the premises more discreetly, the home's layout works perfectly to achieve this.
Coming back to the second floor stair landing, the current owners, the original owners of this home, hired a company to professionally install plexiglass along the custom-designed stair rail. Each of these little details goes a long way in differentiating this home from all of the others currently on the market.
This luxurious home is further complemented by its immediate surroundings and amenities. Enjoy a 5-minute bicycle ride to the Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve, an 80-acre nature preserve. Or walk over to the Vintage Park where you will find world-class shopping and restaurants. Whether you are interested in a spa treatment, going to see a movie or enjoying fine dining from more restaurants than you can count, Vintage Park has it all.
