Located in the prestigious Burbank enclave of Upper Arlington, this architect-designed residence blends timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated, modern updates across every level. Built by Carl Layer for his own family, the home showcases distinctive design features—soaring 9-foot ceilings throughout, custom stained glass windows by Wilhelm Kielblock, and a signature floating staircase that anchors the stunning entry. Every inch of the home has been lovingly enhanced, including new hardwood flooring throughout and a fully transformed lower level featuring a cozy media room, sleek wet bar, and a dedicated home gym. The dramatic great room features a gas fireplace with contemporary fireball styling, perfect for both intimate nights in and larger-scale entertaining. The kitchen retains its high-end character with quality cabinetry, granite and butcher block counters, a generous pull-out pantry, and premium Miele appliances. A wall of glass opens to a fully fenced, ultra-private backyard oasis with an expansive patio offering multiple seating zones—ideal for al fresco entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find oversized bedrooms flooded with natural light, while a first-floor library offers elegant flexibility as a home office or optional fourth bedroom. Additional amenities include: epoxy-finished garage, whole-house generator, newer HVAC (2020), and roof (2019). Set on one of the most private lots in Upper Arlington, this is more than just a home—it's a rare fusion of architectural integrity, modern luxury, and everyday livability. See A2A remarks
