About This Home
As of October 2017Enviable Elegance Awaits on Private Landscaped Grounds. Stately yet inviting, this beautiful 4 bedroom 4.5 bathroom residence is secluded behind a tall stone wall at the front of the property to ensure privacy. Proceeding up the drive you are captivated not only by the handsome home itself, but by the lushly landscaped grounds surrounding it, meticulously designed as if for a magazine. A spacious rear wood deck lets you enjoy the blissful views of pristine shrubbery, colored plantings and mature trees. Double entry doors topped by a huge arch glass window leads into a 2-story Reception Hall with marble flooring and wood staircase. The light-filled living room with hardwood floors, decorative molding and large picture windows on 2 exposures affords a comfortable setting for coffee, cocktails and conversation. Equally alluring is the corner dining room with wood floors, crown moldings, wainscoting, ceiling medallion, and window wall with glass doors to the outdoor deck. The sun-bathed gourmet kitchen with skylights and glass doors to the deck is a chef's dream graced by hardwood floors, granite counters, a center island with seating, Thermador and GE Profile stainless steelappliances, pantry storage and a breakfast area. Beyond is a voluminous 2-story family room with hardwood floors, a gas fireplace with tile surround, and massive windows that almost reach the ceiling. French doors open to a large bonus room/den with Brazilian cherry flooring, a bay window with cushioned seat, decorative moldings and recessed lighting. There's a powder room on the main level and another down the stairs, where a mudroom with laundry accesses the 3-car garage. Brazilian flooring flows throughout the second floor, which houses a lovely master suite through double doors. This luxurious retreat has a vaulted ceiling, windows on 2 exposures, 3 closets including a walk-in, and a separate sunny sitting room through an open doorway, also with double exposures. The stylish master bath has granite-top vanities on either end ? one with double sinks and one with a makeup counter. A Jacuzzi tub, tiled shower with frameless glass door and water closet create a spa-like feel. The hallway overlooks the family room, and leads to 3 additional bedrooms, all with private baths. The partially-finished lower level presents an exercise/recreation room and unfinished area for storage.
