About This Home
A grand estate of magnificent proportions! Current owners have upgraded every aspect of this outstanding manor house. Entry doors are surrounded by exquisite stonework created by masonry artisans of the highest caliber. As you enter the two-story foyer your eye is drawn to the stunning woodwork of the stair railings and balustrades that highlight the soaring two story stairway. A large formal dining room to the right of the entry way can easily seat 20 guests. To the left is a family room/parlor that leads out to a beautiful blue stone patio. The massive 25 x23 living room with 10-foot coffered ceilings is perfect for formal entertaining of large parties. Stunning windows on both the south and north walls bring light flowing into this gracious great hall. The library is finished in warm wood paneling-a haven for avid readers. Hardwood floors, crown and cove moldings embellish all of the formal rooms on the first floor. The "State of the art kitchen" has been updated and improved. High end appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, additional Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers have been added under the counter, Bosch Induction electric cook top as well a Jenn air 30' built-in Microwave Combo Oven, Convection Oven. Two 1/2 bathrooms on the first floor-formal one off of the entry. Upstairs you will find five spacious rooms to be used as bedrooms or office as well as 4 full bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite is exquisite with architectural ceiling treatments, windows overlooking the pastoral countryside and a HUGE walk-in closet with customized built-in drawers, hanging and organizational spaces. A cozy sitting area gives warmth and character to the expansive space. The elegant bathroom boasts marble counter tops, a soaking whirlpool tub, a walk-in shower, designer light fixtures, faucets and towel bars. (The window treatments in the primary bedroom are excluded.) Family bedrooms each have bathroom access, walk-in closets and skylight. The laundry room is on the second floor boasting new LG Washer and Dryer. (There is space to expand over the living room/great hall on the second floor if additional bedrooms are required.) As you move back to the main level, off of the entry hall are stairs to the lower family entertainment mecca of internet access. The lower level is finished into a media room with a large television screen and movie theatre seating to enjoy your favorite motion pictures or video games. Unfinished areas in the lower level offer an abundance of storage, shelving and space for mechanicals. ALL mechanicals have been updated and/or replaced in the last five years. Supported by a whole house Generac gas generator. Set on 1.38 picturesque acres, the 22 x 16-foot screened porch provides excellent space for summer bar-b-ques and parties. The recent addition of a free-standing Italian limestone pergola is breathtaking. Ornamental wrought iron details highlight the domed ceiling. An architectural feature that could be the Dias for an outdoor summer wedding! Recent professional landscaping additions include 22 Arborvitae pine trees at the rear of the lot in front of a privacy fence to the north. Additional tree plantings have been installed along the pergola and blue stone patio. There is plenty of space to add an in-ground pool as well as tennis courts! An ideal family playground for all ages for many years to come. Such a lovely, peaceful oasis yet close to the commuter train station, Mariano's, Heinen's, restaurants and highways. There is no "Homeowner's Association" to restrict improvements that you would like to make to enhance the property. A new Brava Composite Shake Shingle roof will be installed within the next 60 days.
