It is rare to find a large home so beautifully proportioned. Here is a perfect mix of formal and informal, open and separate, elegant and cozy. Take your pick between an eat-in kitchen or formal dining room. Elegant living room or wood-paneled den. Your private office is just off the central hall. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, private bath, and a bay-windowed sitting room with a fireplace. With 14 rooms including 6 bedrooms, there's plenty of room for family and guests. The oversized bedroom over the garage has its own bath and stairs - perfect for guests or staff. If all that is not enough, there is also an additional 800 square foot finished room in the basement, along with plenty of storage or workshop space. The kitchen is designed for a serious chef, with a Viking Professional range. The grounds are elegant without being fussy. The crabapple trees are particularly beautiful in spring, and there are flowering shrubs and plantings throughout. The pool and patio are the central focus, but there is plenty of room for a garden (and touch football) in the back. There are stone walls at the entrance and flanking the driveway. Heating and cooling are Geothermal, ground source heat pump, with electric back-up. The roof is new; the chimney and all masonry have been replaced or repaired as-new. The overall condition is excellent - truly a turn-key home.
