About This Home
Elegance and comfort define this custom-finished contemporary colonial, clad in striking White Belgian Brick from top to bottom. Privately situated on a picturesque 1.92-acre fenced lot, the property is secured by an estate-quality Jerith fence and stately entrance gates. Bluestone front steps enhance its curb appeal, while the expansive backyard offers a park-like retreat with mature trees, open lawn, and a Trex patio deck leading to a charming gazebo—perfect for gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
Graceful statues warmly welcome guests, setting the tone for the grandeur within. A sculptural curved wooden staircase anchors the foyer with artful sophistication, complemented by a stunning European chandelier, marble, and granite floors. Designed for elegant living, the home features a distinguished library, a kitchen with a large center island and generous pantry, a formal dining room, and an expansive living room with vaulted ceiling, skylight, and a floor-to-ceiling ceramic-tile fireplace. The family room with a second fireplace adjoins an exquisite sunroom illuminated by six skylights, offering year-round light and warmth.
Upstairs, hardwood hallways lead to four spacious bedrooms, each with custom closets and private balconies—perfect for quiet mornings or starlit evenings.
