Impressive and exceptionally private Colonial residence set on a nearly 4-acre homesite in sought-after Hawksfield Estates, meticulously maintained by the original owners. Rich in character and timeless design, this home offers a warm yet refined atmosphere, blending elegant architectural details with comfortable, thoughtfully designed living spaces. // A long private driveway leads to beautifully landscaped, wooded grounds and a stately brick façade, while a front path lined with lush shrubs and a retaining wall creates a grand and welcoming approach. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer with gleaming hardwood floors sets an elegant tone, flanked by a formal dining room adorned with columns, a chair railing, a tray ceiling, a chandelier, and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. Opposite, a formal living room is accessed through a charming arched doorway and offers an equally bright and inviting setting. // The main level continues with a versatile bedroom featuring dual access to a full bath before opening to an expansive great room. The family room serves as the heart of the home, showcasing rich hardwood floors, architectural columns, and stunning custom built-ins with bench seating with storage underneath flanking a cozy gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. // The gourmet eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, an oversized island with bar seating, and high-end appliances including a Wolf® 6-burner gas cooktop with a vent hood, a Sub-Zero® refrigerator, a Wolf® wall oven and built-in microwave, and a Bosch® dishwasher. Custom cabinetry offers a beautiful mix of open shelving, glass fronts, and contrasting finishes, complemented by a warm, detailed backsplash and a peninsula that connects to a sunlit breakfast room with direct patio access. A well-appointed mudroom with a built-in desk, storage, and bench seating provides convenient garage access and connects to a laundry room (washer replaced in 2025) and a stylish powder room. // Upstairs, LVT flooring extends throughout four spacious and well-appointed bedrooms and three full baths. The expansive primary suite offers a tray ceiling, a dual-sided gas fireplace, a comfortable sitting area, and two custom walk-in closets. The luxurious ensuite bath features dual vanities with a dedicated makeup station, a corner soaking tub, a separate shower, and a private water closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a dual-access bath, while a third enjoys its own private bath along with built-in bookshelves, window seats, and custom cabinetry, adding a little charm. // The fully finished walk-up lower level provides exceptional additional living space, including a spacious recreation area with built-ins and a wet bar, a private office or library behind French doors featuring extensive custom built-ins, a media room, an exercise room, a full bath, and a storage/utility room. // Outdoor living is equally impressive, with three expansive paver patios totaling approximately 1,000 square feet, a pergola, a built-in space for a hot tub, and a 4-burner grill connected to a gas line—ideal for elevated entertaining and enjoyment. The expansive backyard features a tranquil waterfall feature/dry pond, lush landscaping, and a wooded backdrop for added privacy, along with an underground sprinkler system for both lawn and planting beds. // Additional highlights include built-in speakers (for a future Sonos® or other sound system) throughout the main living areas, owner’s bathroom, and patio, a 12KW generator, and a Tesla charger in the garage.
