A rare offering of architectural pedigree, luminous design, and impressive scale, 4708 Buckby Cross presents a singular opportunity to own a contemporary residence of lasting distinction within one of Bloomfield Hills' most sought-after gated communities. Designed by renowned Michigan architect Dale Ferriby and offered for the first time since its construction, this striking home encompasses 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and 5,002 square feet of above-grade living space, complemented by a substantial finished lower level. The residence sits on a beautifully landscaped one-acre setting within The Hills of Lone Pine, offering privacy, serenity, and refined surroundings. Upon entry, the home immediately reveals its sculptural character through soaring two-story volumes, expansive panes of glass, and a graceful spiral staircase rising through a radiant atrium. Ferriby's signature geometric forms, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows create interiors where sunlight becomes an essential design element, illuminating timeless marble surfaces, warm hardwood floors, and a sophisticated contemporary palette. Residences of this caliber reflect a depth of design intention and structural quality that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Constructing a home today with comparable scale, materials, and architectural complexity would require an extraordinary investment well beyond the value represented here. The home is distinguished by two expansive primary suites, each conceived as a private sanctuary. Both feature spa-inspired baths, generously scaled walk-in closets designed as boutique-style dressing rooms with central islands, and direct access to elevated terrace patios framed with sleek glass railings. Rich wood flooring carries throughout the upper living levels, lending warmth and continuity to the home's contemporary design. The owner's suite offers a luxurious bath with a jetted soaking tub, marble finishes, and a glass shower with multiple fixtures. Its private terrace connects gracefully to the lower patio via an exterior staircase, creating a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. The second primary suite is equally impressive, featuring a full mirrored wall that currently frames a dedicated wellness area with space for a spin bike and yoga practice. The room-sized closet also includes a convenient laundry hookup, offering flexibility for future laundry arrangements if desired. At the heart of the residence, a striking two-story great room anchors the main living spaces while maintaining an inviting sense of comfort and livability. Elegant glass panels overlook the lower level, allowing natural light to filter throughout the home and reflect beautifully across pristine marble floors and the dramatic, open two-sided marble fireplace, designed to accommodate either gas or wood-burning systems and never yet used. Nearby, the visually compelling chef's kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-quality appliances thoughtfully arranged to support both everyday living and gracious entertaining. Two additional guest bedrooms are thoughtfully integrated into the home's layout. One en suite bedroom on the main level features hardwood floors, generous proportions suitable for a king bed, a built-in double closet, and a private bath with tiled shower. The fourth bedroom occupies a loft-style setting at the top of the artistically rendered spiral staircase, offering wood floors, a full private bath, and flexible potential as a guest retreat, creative studio, or office. Access to an adjacent outdoor rooftop area invites future possibilities for enhancement. A bonus second level luminous glass-enclosed room offers a serene setting for an office, meditation, yoga, study, creative, wellness, or spiritual pursuits. The space was designed with flexibility in mind and the footprint could be expanded by incorporating the adjacent oversized closet of the second primary suite. A discreet sink tucked behind built-in shelving adds further functionality. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility considerably. This level includes a full second kitchen, a marble fireplace, expansive gathering spaces, built in glass and marble display areas, a large bonus room suitable for family room, theater, recreation, or fitness use, and a dedicated laundry area with newer appliances, built-in cabinetry, and a tiled wash/hang dry station. Two additional unfinished storage mechanical rooms are tucked away, and both offer ample storage opportunities. Recent mechanical upgrades include three new high-efficiency HVAC systems serving five climate zones, allowing precise temperature control throughout the residence. A recently installed tankless water heater further enhances efficiency and comfort. Outdoor living was carefully considered in the home's design. The property features four distinct outdoor terraces, including two upper patios accessed directly from the primary suites and two spacious lower patios ideal for entertaining, dining, or quiet relaxation. Lovingly maintained by the original owners who commissioned the residence, the home has been thoughtfully improved with updated mechanical systems, newer windows, refreshed lighting, and a newer roof. Residents of The Hills of Lone Pine enjoy one of the region's most prestigious residential enclaves, offering 24-hour gatehouse security, tennis courts, a newly refinished Olympic-size pool and spa, scenic walking paths surrounding Minnow Lake, and meticulously maintained grounds. Architecturally distinctive and rarely available, 4708 Buckby Cross offers a compelling blend of design integrity, privacy, and resort-style amenities in the heart of Bloomfield Hills.
