About This Home
As of June 2025Step into timeless American charm with this thoughtfully crafted, custom-built home where nature-infused sophistication blends seamlessly with modern comfort. Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, this 5-bedroom, 4.2-bath residence was designed with both refined living and practical functionality in mind. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch and grand entryway set the tone for what lies within-warm wood tones, rich natural finishes, and custom craftmanship throughout. The main level offers expansive living spaces including a formal dining room, butler's pantry, chef's kitchen outfitted for culinary adventures, cozy family room, library with custom built-ins, second office, and both formal and informal powder rooms. A spacious walk-in pantry, functional mudroom, and seamless flow to the back patio ensure this home works as beautifully as it looks. Upstairs, retreat to four generously sized bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite is a private haven with its own entry hall, sunlit bedroom overlooking the backyard, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath-your personal retreat. The third floor offers a tucked-away sitting area and flex space-ideal for a studio, reading nook, or private office. The lower level opens into a vast recreation area with two bonus rooms perfect for storing gear, games, or seasonal decor. There's also a home gym, 5th bedroom, full bath, and a custom sauna. Outside, enjoy peaceful evenings on your bluestone and brick patio, overlooking a rare 75-foot extra-wide backyard-ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply taking in the open air. All fenced in with a 2-car detached garage and professional landscaping. Steps to town, train, schools, beach and more! This home is not just a place to live-it's a lifestyle rooted in natural beauty, comfort, and mountain-inspired elegance.
