I built my genesis fugio 853 to be sort of what you're maybe after.
Nice steel, full mudguards over road tyres, space for fat tyres for some offroad in the summer, dynamo lights etc but it ended up seeing 99% tarmac and is heavier/not as fun as a light road bike so I only take it out when it's pouring down.
Instead I've got a gravel bike (which still doesn't work, yet) and I'm going to build a dedicated winter/wet road bike which maintains the feeling of a fast bike
