The impressive foyer features floor-to-ceiling millwork and a coffered beadboard ceiling. Throughout the first and second levels, rich custom wide plank white oak hardwood flooring adds warmth, texture, and continuity to every space. A glass, climate-controlled wine cellar sets an elegant tone. A private office with built-in cabinetry provides the perfect workspace. The arched entry leads to an inviting family room and a chef's kitchen boasting bespoke European cabinetry, a 10'+ island, designer bar, high-end appliances, and a scullery/prep kitchen. The informal dining room offers warmth and character with a vaulted, beamed ceiling - ideal for everyday living or entertaining. A perfectly planned mudroom includes locker-style storage with doors and a convenient homecoming center. The stairwell impresses with detailed millwork from the lower level to the second floor, opening to a spacious landing. The primary suite features vaulted and beamed ceilings, a handcrafted accent wall, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, makeup counter, and wet room. The boutique-style closet includes hand-built shelving. Four additional bedrooms each feature en suite baths and generous space. The finished lower level offers a large recreation room, bar area, fifth bedroom with full bath, glass-enclosed exercise room, and a future golf simulator area. Outdoor living shines with a two-tier bluestone patio and expansive yard. Walk to and bus from the corner to Hawthorne Grade School, town, train, restaurants, parks, and more.
