Delightful design notes extend throughout the primary residence’s interiors to include gleaming hardwood flooring, magnificent millwork, stunningly coffered and vaulted ceilings, beautiful built -ins, and walls of windows that flood the principal living spaces with natural light. Modern fixtures and amenities elegantly complement the home’s traditional yet timeless architectural accent s to offer ease and comfort to today’s style of living.

The expansive Gourmet Kitchen is fit for any caliber chef with a large Island, high-end stainless-steel appliances, ample storage space and a wall of windows overlooking the enviable Terrace and lush grounds beyond. A Breakfast Nook with banquette sit s adjacent to the Gourmet Kitchen, providing a more informal dining alternative. Adjacent to the Chef’s Kitchen, French doors open to the rear dining Terrace for idyllic al fresco dining and entertaining overlooking the property’s lush grounds. The Mudroom provides ample storage space and offers breezeway access to the Oversized 5-Car “Car Barn” and Carriage House’s guest quarters that is complete with a fully equipped Kitchen, full Bathroom, and additional storage. The Carriage Home offers incredible views of the property’s enviable 40’ Swimming Pool and Pat io, the perfect respite to relax and enjoy the enchanting landscape that surrounds. An en-suite Bedroom completes the Main Level’s offerings. The Upper Level showcases 3 of the guest Bedrooms, each offering ample closet space, a hall Bathroom, and the extraordinary Primary Suite. Boasting vaulted ceilings, abundant built-in’s, a cozy fireplace, gleaming hardwoods, and bountiful property views, the Primary Bedroom Suite is complete with an expansive walk-in closet and spa-like Bathroom with dual vanities, clawfoot tub and stall shower.
