About This Home

As of July 2025

Nestled at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul de sac, with tranquil views of beautiful Raymonds Pond, this chic and sophisticated 4-bedroom home is a rare find and a commuter's dream. Thoughtfully designed, primed for entertaining and move-in ready. Step inside to soaring ceilings and an effortless open floor plan, where natural light pours through walls of windows. The formal living room and private library offer quiet elegance, while the true centerpiece is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family rooms. Outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and sleek contemporary finishes, the kitchen and dining area flows seamlessly into an inviting family room, anchored by a large fieldstone fireplace-perfect for cozy evenings or stylish entertaining. Large French doors open to beautifully terraced patios, offering a private oasis with a breathtaking backdrop of water views. Upstairs, the serene primary suite is a true retreat, featuring 9-foot ceilings, a fireplace, a private sitting area, and a secluded balcony--the ideal spot for morning coffee with a view. Three additional bedrooms and a well-placed second-floor laundry add practicality to the elegance. The finished walk-out lower level with a 2023, 6-person hot tub offers everything you need for work, play, or fitness, plus generous storage throughout. Privately set and surrounded by nature, yet just a short distance to Metro North and Waveny Park. This is luxury living that feels both elevated and effortless.
