With 5 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, this enchanting home offers 4800+ sq ft of comfortable living space with high quality, bespoke, details throughout including beautifully crafted built-ins, wide-board floors, and a large fieldstone fireplace in the family room with exposed antique barn wood surround. The gourmet kitchen and all baths have been updated in recent years and this lovely home has been impeccably maintained both inside and out. Unique flex spaces include a quiet library nook off of the generously proportioned family room; a cooks' pantry with extra oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, refrigerator and wine cooler; a private den (or office) with fireplace and beams; as well as a 2nd floor study (or 6th bedroom). From the charming front courtyard with brick walkway, to the rear patio with views of the bucolic and private property beyond, this lovely two-acre parcel includes multiple small gardens, mature trees, and a large, level, lawn with plenty of room for a pool. Move in and enjoy turnkey living in this very special home, less than one hour from NYC.
