This exceptional custom home is situated on 10.14 acres of open and wooded land in an established neighborhood of luxury homes. Professionally landscaped beds and an expansive front lawn mark the entrance to this private estate. A paved drive leads to a circular parking court in front of the residence and on to additional parking in front of the attached four-car garage. A man-made pond surrounded by lush plantings provides a delightful focal point for the front entry. Behind the residence, a marble terrace with an outdoor kitchen overlooks the back lawn. Adjoining the indoor pool is a wide patio with a fire pit and an outdoor lounge shaded by a permanently installed awning. Tucked off to the side of the property is a finished pool house with a large room for entertaining or changing, along with storage space for outdoor furnishings and pool equipment. One end of the back lawn has a perennial garden enclosed with white picket fencing and a gazebo. The manicured, level lawn adjoins over six acres of forest with a private hiking trail, providing a bucolic oasis that is enjoyed for its natural beauty in all seasons. This striking custom-built residence was constructed in 2001. The stucco and brick façade is accented with a covered porch entry supported by soaring two-story columns. The floor plan includes six bedrooms, five full baths, three powder rooms, three fireplaces and an indoor pool for a total of 9,126 square feet of finished luxury space. Intricate millwork and numerous custom windows with transoms are found throughout the home. The first floor begins in a two-story foyer centered between the living and dining rooms. A gallery hallway runs the width of the first floor connecting the sun room, library and great room to a gourmet kitchen with breakfast area. The back hallway adjoins a first floor guest suite, the attached four-car garage and a laundry room. French doors in the laundry room lead to the indoor pool. On the second floor, a three-room master suite occupies one wing. Four additional en suite bedrooms and a state-of-the-art home theater/recreation room complete the second floor. The lower level is unfinished and accessible from two sets of stairs on the first floor.
