Like to have friends and family over? A spacious light-filled Great Room is ideal for entertaining guests, large family gatherings or buffet spreads for Thanksgiving. And there is more ? The master bedroom suite has a private study and custom his and her bathrooms joined by a walk-in closet and dressing area. The residence also includes an impeccably-designed English mahogany paneled library with fireplace. A formal dining room connects directly to the kitchen. Brick floored sunroom with beautiful views of the property extends along the back of the house leading to a large living room with fireplace and wet bar. Totally unique to this property is its flexibility for extended family living. A separate 5-room wing, with its own driveway entrance is ideal for in-laws, college students returning home who want their own "quarters", a live-in-au pair, or perhaps a place to conduct business from your home office.
