Inviting presence with circular drive & framed manicured grounds presents a very storybook residence with classic architecture, new composite cedar shake roof, copper gutters, and charming dormers creating unforgettable curb appeal. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone as you enter the foyer thru the Farrow & Ball French blue doors, brick flooring and Nantucket inspired millwork. This expansive ranch with southern exposure naturally lights up the entire house as the formal living with picturesque windows showcases the breathtaking views of the expansive grounds & tennis court. Just beyond, the spectacular sunroom/family room serves as the heart of the home with panoramic views of the lush backyard and entertaining terraces, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The dining room offers an intimate yet refined setting for gatherings and leads to the updated classic all white kitchen accented with Carrera marble and designed by notable North Shore architect Chip Hackely. Custom cabinetry accented with huge breakfast bar island with seating for 6 and expansive prep space make this the hub of the house with great views of Sunset Road.
