Less than 9 years old, this 21st century design combines classic features where the flow of rooms is gracious and seamless. Peaceful gardens and a fish pond greet you upon entering the covered front entrance. Once inside, a striking two-story foyer introduces a contemporary mobile-style chandelier that adds a whimsical touch above, while wide entries below allow the eye to take in the sights of the home's first floor. Nine foot ceilings follow through the first level of this center hall colonial where a living room with a fireplace is located to the right of the foyer and an oversized dining room to the left which accesses a noteworthy kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The kitchen boasts an architect's touch and combines open shelves with cable wiring for artful displays, a center island with clever storage areas below invites a breakfast bar for four, stainless steel appliances, colorful mosaic tile back splash with an abundance of counter space, lots of windows and a set of sliding doors that step down to a blue stone patio, making this kitchen one to remember. A sunken family room is cozy with a second fireplace and built-in bookcases. A fifth bedroom and a private full bath, a powder room and mudroom with benches, hooks, cubbies and shelves are ready to take on book bags and briefcases. Upstairs a Jack-N-Jill suite, a Prince or Princess suite and a craft room or study are found along with a laundry area. The Master Suite is self-contained with a sitting/meditation room, master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, huge master bathroom with dual vanities, yours and mine walk-in closets and a step-down, wrap-around bonus room for additional office or flex space. The lower level offers a media room, recreation room, storage and a sound-proof music room. The backyard is private and beautifully landscaped with raised beds, patios and numerous flowering trees, shrubs and perennials all precisely designed and planted by the current owner where birds sing among the flutter of butterflies and the playfulness of squirrels. The garage is oversized and two-car with room for a workshop. Walking distance to schools, town and University with over 4,700 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and four and a half baths ~ the layout is sure to please!
