This private estate is a rare sanctuary of refinement and serenity, nestled at the end of a long drive and abutting preserved conservation land with direct access to hiking and horseback riding trails right from your backyard. Just minutes from the Historic Green, where charming boutiques and top-tier dining await, the setting perfectly balances seclusion and convenience. A gracious brick-floored foyer opens to elegant yet livable interiors, including a library warmed by a wood stove and a formal dining room with fireplace. The expansive living room also features a fireplace and flows into a cozy den with a built-in office. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with Sub-Zero and Dacor appliances, with a sunny breakfast area and sunken living room leading to a patio and deck. A main-level bedroom suite offers flexibility, while the upper level hosts a luxurious primary suite with fireplace, marble bath, and dual walk-ins, plus two additional bedrooms, an office, and laundry. A walkout lower level includes a media room and full bath, and an elevator serves all levels. Encompassing nearly five acres of mature trees, terraced gardens, and thoughtfully designed grounds, the property offers ample space and privacy. Outside, enjoy a heated Gunite pool, spa, stone patios, and five garage bays-including a barn with loft-and room for a tennis court if desired.
