About This Home
As of March 2022Professionally decorated, wisely updated and greatly expanded to improve both indoor and outdoor living, this home has evolved under current ownership into a showplace offering the ultimate in comfort. Beginning with the covered porch sheltering the entry into the foyer and mudroom, every space feels special. In the living room, an art glass transom tops French doors, just one set of several that open to a collection of stone patios, one of which is sheltered by a pergola, while another offers a brick pizza oven and built-in grill. Since good times and great food go hand-in-hand year-round, not only is the kitchen equipped with double ovens, a Sub Zero and a sleek new hood, there is a choice of spots for sharing a meal: the elegant formal dining room, the casual dining room or right at the island. The Great Room, where 6 skylights shine down on a stone accent wall and built-ins, is a stunning addition that supplements hangout space in the basement, also impeccably detailed. Perhaps the most impressive area is a wine room that buffers a quiet home office. While all of the 5 bedrooms, 3 of them with private baths, are comfy and welcoming, the main suite is fittingly the most luxurious with 2 custom walk-ins and a magazine-worthy bath beyond an elegant archway. Designer materials, custom built-ins and more French doors add to the air of tasteful opulence.
