About This Home

As of July 2018

Custom built 8 yrs. ago by the current owners in conjunction with Palomar Builders. This home is loaded with upgrades that were personally selected to appoint the home with utmost detail for traditonal living. This center hall colonial offers a generous circular drive entrace area with a portico porch and a gorgeous mahogany front door that opens into a two-story center hall foyer which is flanked by a formal dining room (with Butlers pantry) on the left and formal living room on the right with glass French doors. All three areas were custom fitted with beefy crown moldings, handsome coiffered ceilings, elegant wall moldings and wainscotting. The back of the house offers a chef kitchens with highend Woodmode cabinetry, an expansieve center island and commercial grade appliances (Sub-zero, Dacor 5 burner & double ovens, Miele dishwasher)with gorgeous granite counters. Sliders in the breakfast room step out onto a stunning bluestone terrace and patio area, the entire breakfast room and kitchen view directly into the great room with fireplace and custom built wall cabinets and a wet bar. Just down the hallway is an elevator that services all levels, a wine storage room with built-in shelving and an optional Study/6th bedroom with full bath, more built-in wall cabients and a fireplace! A front and rear staricase lead to the second floor that offers a master suite with a 3rd fireplace, marble bath with vaulted ceiling and separate vanity areas and a generous size sitting room with glass french doors. A princess suite at either end of the house (one is completely oversized with a vaulted ceiling) and two more bedrooms that share a fabulous hall bath (one bedroom has direct access to the bath). Unfinised but extra high basement, three car side-entery garage and located in an area of all custom built spectacular homes. This home is dressed to impress the most discerning of buyers!
