By Rachel Cogar Photos by Tim Buchman southpark 93 The main-level master suite (top right, previous page) boasts cathedral ceilings and a view of the natural surroundings on which the home is situated. Dienst Custom Homes has created a personal “sanctuary” with this stone and stucco estate. An air of royalty emerges when one enters the cylin- drical two-story foyer (top middle and right) where a copper finial rises from the stone tower. The kitchen and dining areas (top left and bottom right) are the central point of the home and showcase wood beam trusses, natu- ral hardwoods and an expansive waterfront view. The lower-level covered terrace (above) gives a view of the pool and entertaining area enveloped in the natural surroundings of this four- and-a-half acre wildlife preserve.
