Meticulously updated in 2022, the home received the prestigious Historic Preservation Rehabilitation Award, celebrating its thoughtful restoration and impeccable craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the home's fabulous curb appeal and beautifully designed grounds set the tone for what awaits inside. A gracious foyer welcomes you into a sun-drenched, south-facing living room where oversized bay windows, elegant architectural details, and a fireplace create a warm yet refined setting. The striking lacquered library, complete with custom built-ins, offers a dramatic and sophisticated retreat. Perfect for working from home or quiet relaxation. At the heart of the home is a stunning gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. Outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, marble countertops, a Waterworks faucet, and custom inset cabinetry, the space opens seamlessly to a dramatic family room with soaring vaulted ceilings. A built-in banquette and stylish wet bar with Waterworks fixtures and an ice maker further elevate the home's entertaining appeal. French doors lead to bluestone patios and professionally landscaped gardens, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The sun-filled dining room is both inviting and elegant, featuring charming corner cabinets, a large bay window, and French doors that open directly to the gardens, ideal for memorable gatherings. A private office and a thoughtfully designed mudroom adjacent to the attached garage provide convenience and functionality on the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a serene retreat, featuring expansive dual dressing rooms and a spa-inspired bath with double vanities, a large walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a private water closet. One family bedroom includes a beautifully renovated en-suite bath completed in 2023, while the recent expansion introduced three additional bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a beautifully appointed bath with dual vanities, separate shower, and separate water closet. The finished lower level provides outstanding additional living space, including a spacious recreation room, sixth bedroom, full bath, and an impressive wine cellar with built-in speakers. Additional highlights include intricate moldings, refinished hardwood floors throughout, two laundry rooms, and an attached garage.
