About This Home

As of April 2025

Elegance and warmth exude throughout this one-of-a-kind custom-built home. Step into the sunlit kitchen with granite countertops, a Viking gas stove and Electrolux double ovens. Just off the kitchen is an inviting and spacious dining room with a fireplace made even more grand by the adjacent butler's kitchen with an ice machine, sink, double-drawer dishwasher and beverage cooler for easy, elevated entertaining. The spacious family room showcases a cathedral ceiling open to the 2nd floor, a fieldstone fireplace and custom-built bookshelves. Working from home is easy with the 1st floor office overlooking the private front yard. On the 2nd floor you can cozy up in front of the fireplace in the primary bedroom that also offers a custom walk-in closet and a luxurious updated bathroom. The 2nd floor also includes a laundry room and 3 additional bedrooms all with convenient en-suite bathrooms. The lower level features a versatile TV room, home gym with shower, and a generous storage room. The beautifully landscaped yard provides mature fruit trees (yes, a plum tree) and a perennial cutting garden. The private outdoor space is designed for both entertaining and relaxation and includes a granite patio, heated pool, outdoor shower, stone fireplace, built-in gas grill, and pergola for year-round enjoyment. Also included is an irrigation system and new solar power system fully owned and transferable so you can benefit from reduced electric bills all year round! See additional remarks!
