About This Home

As of July 2024

Welcome to this elegantly renovated and expanded stone and shingle residence, ideally situated between the town and the lake. The highest quality materials and construction are evident at every turn. The first-floor primary suite is akin to the best hotels with trayed ceilings, custom millwork, a spacious walk-in closet, and a cozy fireplace. The ultra-luxe primary bathroom includes heated floors and the most decadent shower/wet room with dual shower heads, dual rain heads, a steam shower, and a deep soaking tub. The convenient first-floor office with fireplace, Murphy bed, and private full bath offer ample flexibility for a guest suite and/or home office. The kitchen/family room is as perfect for everyday living as it is for entertaining! The light and bright open space houses abundant custom cabinetry, a spacious island, quartzite countertops, a walk-in pantry, and the finest appliances, including Wolf steam oven, Wolf dual fuel ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, and two Miele dishwashers. The fireplace anchors the seating area for the ideal conversation and TV-watching setup. Sliders open to the bluestone patio with a built-in BBQ, overlooking the private backyard with perennial gardens, lawn, and a putting green. Upstairs hosts 4 large bedrooms with ample closets, vaulted ceilings, and two Jack and Jill bathrooms. The basement will be the favorite hangout spot for friends and family. There is a recreation room with a fireplace and TV-watching area, room for a pool table or card table, exercise room, wine room, home theater, and lots of storage- it's all here! The attached three-car garage and first-floor mudroom/laundry room are on every buyer's "must have" list! This is the one!
