About this home
Real estate taxes successfully appealed and reduced to $37,650 effective January 2025. A prominent local real estate attorney believes an additional appeal could result in further reduction. Nestled on 1.4 acres of breathtaking wooded landscape, stately residence on prestigious Mount Pleasant Road offers the ultimate in privacy, elegance, and architectural beauty. A brick-pillared entrance and Belgian block-lined driveway lead to a stately brick Tudor masterpiece, blending timeless charm with modern sophistication.
Step into the grand two-story foyer, where marble floors and exquisite craftsmanship set the tone for this exceptional residence. The library/study, with its coffered ceiling and built-in bookcases, exudes warmth and sophistication. The expansive living room, featuring a fireplace, gleaming wood floors, and a picturesque bay window, offers stunning views of the serene backyard. The formal dining room, bathed in natural light, opens to a private walled patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
At the heart of the home, the soaring two-story family room captivates with its 18-foot ceiling, dramatic bay window, gas fireplace, and custom built-ins. Adjacent, the chef’s kitchen showcases rich cherry cabinetry, a center island, and an inviting solarium, perfect for informal dining with floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to a secluded deck and patio.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering a spacious bedroom, a sunlit sitting/dressing room, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath, where a bay window frames tranquil views of lush greenery. Four additional well-appointed bedrooms include an en-suite guest room, a princess suite with a walk-in closet, and a separate East Wing retreat, ideal for an au pair, private guest quarters, or a home office.
The West Wing presents a hidden gem—accessed from the courtyard, garage, or private staircase—leading to a large bonus room, perfect for a secluded office, media room, or playroom.
Luxury meets convenience with a Kohler generator, two central vacuum systems, and four-zone heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort.
This distinguished property is more than a home—it’s a private retreat, an entertainer’s dream, and a rare opportunity to experience the beauty, tranquility, and gracious living that define Mount Pleasant Road.
