About this home
This exceptional home offers an impressive 4,145 square feet above grade with 5 bedrooms and 3.1 baths, perfectly situated on nearly half an acre in a fabulous location. An incredible addition paired with extensive renovations showcases quality construction and custom finishes throughout. Designed with a circular floor plan that creates effortless flow, the home is ideal for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. From the moment you step into the gracious foyer, highlighted by a sweeping bridal staircase, you're welcomed by timeless elegance and quality craftsmanship. The true chef's kitchen is nothing short of spectacular, featuring Sub-Zero, Wolf, Dacor, and Miele appliances, custom inset cabinetry, a massive island, and abundant storage. A sunny eating area opens to a stunning bluestone patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen flows into the expansive family room with soaring 13-foot ceilings, a dramatic fireplace, and French doors that lead to the patio. A generously sized living room and separate dining room, each with its own fireplace, provide elegant yet inviting spaces to gather. A richly appointed library/office with solid walnut paneling and a well-designed mudroom with washer and dryer complete the main level(2 laundry rooms). The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet, and a newly renovated marble bath with heated floors, a seamless entry shower, and custom stone inlay. Three additional generously sized bedrooms offer excellent closet space, and the beautifully renovated hall bathroom showcases floor-to-ceiling marble finishes and a double vanity. The finished lower level expands the living space even further with a huge recreation room and wet bar, second laundry room, and a fifth bedroom currently used as an exercise studio with a full bath and steam shower. Three fireplaces, updated mechanicals, a tankless water heater, newer windows, a generator, and tons of storage provide comfort and peace of mind. An attached heated garage with epoxy flooring adds convenience. Outdoors, the property is equally impressive, designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. A regulation-sized free throw line and basketball hoop add a fun and functional recreational feature, while the professionally landscaped yard showcases expansive green space and mature trees that create a private, picturesque backdrop. Offering a rare blend of space, seamless flow, luxury updates, timeless charm, gorgeous curb appeal, and a superb location, this home is truly a standout!
