Tucked away in an exclusive enclave of distinctive homes, this handsome Dixon Peer Colonial home stands proudly among them. Grand and gracious formal rooms are a lovely counterpoise to its comfortable, informal gathering places, all arranged in an enviable true center hall floor plan. From an inviting reception hall flanked by a formal fireside living room and elegant dining room, each with oversized windows and elaborate crown moldings, fine entertaining is de rigueur for this home. The hallway extends to the rear of the home and opens out to a partially roofed bluestone terrace that virtually spans the rear of the home, framed with stone knee walls and pretty boxwoods, and perfect for outdoor relaxation and parties. A first-floor home library with two sets of French doors is embellished with rich cherry trims, paneled wainscoting and custom bookcases, and creates the perfect respite. A first-floor powder room and walk-in guest closet off the hallway complete this level. At the heart of the home lies the spacious designer kitchen with breakfast area that enjoys private backyard views. Outfitted in soft off-white custom cabinetry anchored on hardwood floors with pretty stenciled motifs, high-end country-style living comes to mind. The kitchen also has a wet bar that connects to the dining room for easy service, as well as a seated center island, built-in work station and direct access to the three-car attached garage and parking court. The adjacent family room is set beneath a two-story ceiling with a focal wood burning fireplace, generous picture window and French doors that lead to the patio for extended outdoor enjoyment. A walk-in pantry and wet bar are enhancements. The second-floor hallway overlooks the reception hall below and introduces five well-appointed bedrooms with ample closets. One bedroom is an ensuite with hall access, while a full hall bath serves the others. The master bedroom suite boasts twin custom-fitted walk-in closets and a luxury master bath with deep jetted tub and separate frameless shower. A second-floor laundry room adds convenience. A staircase from the second floor leads to an expansive fully floored attic and storage area. High ceilings add distinction to the comfortable finished lower level recreation and play room, enhanced with an electric fireplace and plantation shutters. Two huge storage/mechanical rooms are located nearby. Perfectly appointed and known for the company it keeps, this fine home will appeal to the most discerning of homebuyers.
