About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked away on the highly desirable cul-de-sac (with all buried utilities!) on Holly Pond, this beautifully updated home offers nearly 4,000 sf of stylish and sun-filled living space. The heart of the home is the designer kitchen, newly renovated and opens to a bright breakfast room, connecting seamlessly to the upstairs vaulted playroom and other expansive living areas. A stunning floor to ceiling glassed family room, recently renovated with a built-in bar, is perfect for entertaining and everyday comfort. The large living room with fireplace is perfect for those cozy winter nights and the formal dining room is perfect for those special gatherings. Five spacious bedrooms provide generous accommodations, including the spectacular vaulted and secluded primary suite with three walls of large glass windows giving views of Holly Pond, custom walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired newly renovated marble bath with heated floors. There are four additional generously sized bedrooms, including a newly redone in-law suite with bath and private entry. Beyond the interiors, the grounds unfold into a true resort-like retreat. Deeded access only for launching kayaks or your favorite water toy. The expansive, flat, and shaded backyard features a large sports court, a new 2021 elegant stone entertaining patio, and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with Lynx grill for the ultimate in privacy and sophistication.
