The Pointe

Roman clay-textured walls and bold, angular architecture frame this reimagined estate nestled in the exclusive gated community of The Pointe at Briarcliff. Spanning nearly 9,000 square feet, this architectural masterpiece combines contemporary remodeled design with the innovative original work of Enrique De La Pena. With awe-inspiring views of the Kansas City skyline through expansive windows and over half an acre of lush grounds, this home epitomizes luxury living at its finest

Inside, each detail has been carefully curated to reflect a refined aesthetic with a modern edge. The entry welcomes you with a striking blend of concrete,  vaulted dark wood ceilings, and carefully integrated raw stone illuminated by backlighting serving as a built-in art feature and creating a captivating introduction to the home’s sophisticated interiors. The main living and dining areas feature bespoke chandeliers, including a spectacular dining room fixture that mimics the skyline’s silhouette—an homage to Kansas City’s skyline visible from the majority of the home's back windows.  Illuminating backlighting enhances various features throughout, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow that emphasizes the home’s architectural lines.  Flutted wood, quartzite countertops, and black cabinetry adorn the kitchen's new modern aesthetic while giant black framed picture windows show off beautiful city views. 

The owner's suite offers a serene retreat, adorned with white plaster walls and quartz counters that contrast beautifully with brass accents and rich, dark wood cabinetry. This contrast of light and dark tones runs throughout the home, with moody, intimate spaces blending effortlessly into bright, open areas, providing both a calming flow and a bold visual statement. The bedroom suite also stands out architecturally coming to a diamond point with huge picture windows featuring city and wooded views. Dark wood ceilings, brass chandelier and a dark roman clay  backdrop behind the bedset are just a few of the unique features of this room.

Every space exudes style and elegance: sleek lines, modern finishes, and luxurious materials come together in a cohesive design language. Even the guest half bathrooms are impressive, with raw stone sinks, custom brass fixtures, and soothing palette of neutrals that harmonize with the natural elements outside.  Practical spaces, such as the large laundry room, also encompasses luxury touches with eucalyptus green cabinetry, lighted focal points, and access to the sprawling back deck.

The lower level, walkout basement, is a world of it's own, hosting unique spaces designed to enhance an elevated lifestyle. A dedicated hot tub room and a cutting-edge golf simulator invite relaxation and entertainment.  The second living room and open bar area is surrounded with  large windows, a cozy concrete fireplace, flutted wood bar, and built in full refrigerator.  Textured brass hardware and lighting fixtures create an entertainment space fit for a rockstar. New upgrades to the roof, gutters, and exterior add both style and durability.  

The property is ideally located, just minutes from downtown Kansas City and Briarcliff Commons, offering convenient access to the best of urban living while preserving a sense of retreat and exclusivity. This extraordinary estate invites you to experience luxury redefined, where sophisticated design meets effortless function and every detail is a testament to architectural artistry. This is not just a home—it's a canvas of exquisite style, a celebration of modern craftsmanship, and a sanctuary for those who value the finest elements of contemporary living.
