Spanning over 7,100 square feet, this extraordinary Colonial offers 6 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, and was masterfully reimagined in 2020 with refined finishes, impeccable craftsmanship, and sophisticated open-concept design. The show-stopping kitchen by Jack Rosen is the centerpiece, featuring a 48” Wolf range top with double wall ovens, 48” Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a 10-foot island with Steel Grey leathered granite. It opens seamlessly to the breakfast area and elegant family room with gas fireplace and bespoke wet bar—ideal for intimate gatherings or grand entertaining.

Five additional bedrooms, beautifully renovated baths, and a thoughtfully designed laundry center continue the home’s elevated design. Rich hardwood floors and intricate crown molding span the main and upper levels. The fully finished lower level features a fitness room, sauna, full bath, expansive recreation space, and abundant storage.
