There's so much more than meets the eye with this brick and shingle Colonial Split tucked amid a myriad of lushly landscaped garden beds, perennials and a color palette of flowering specimen trees. Multi-level living, generous rooms and an open floor plan provide all the comforts and attractive versatility of collective as well as individual spaces. The entry hallway introduces an inviting living room that showcases an oversized bay window with lovely deck and rear yard vistas, complete with a traditional wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors and lovely crown moldings. The formal dining room features wainscoting and a focal bay window, tucked between the living room, family room and kitchen to make entertaining a breeze. Granite-topped counters are set against warm cherry custom cabinetry in the well-appointed chef's kitchen, equipped with professional-grade appliances that include a 6-burner Wolf range with grill, and more. A seated center island with bar sink and breakfast area with a plantation-shuttered bay window offer ample seating for informal repasts, along with a built-in seated work station. A dramatic fireside family room with serving station/wet bar and office area with built-ins is at the heart of the home, beautifully set beneath a beamed cathedral ceiling surrounded by Palladian-topped windows and French doors on two sides. Sliders lead to an idyllic wraparound mahogany deck for extended al fresco dining and relaxation, enhanced with a charming screened pagoda perched on a corner of the deck. A backdrop of privacy plantings and shade trees create the perfect retreat-like setting. Step up to three bedrooms that reside on the next level, each with hardwood floors and custom closets. One of the bedrooms is an ensuite, while a full hall bath with tub shower serves two of the bedrooms. A sumptuous master suite enjoys the privacy of its own living spaces on a level by itself. A spacious skylit master lounge with gas fireplace offers a quiet respite after a long day, while the romantic master bedroom enjoys a high tray ceiling with ambient cove lighting and two custom-fitted walk-in closets. The sun-lit master bath features a vaulted ceiling with skylight over a claw-foot tub anchored on radiant heated floors, along with dual vanities, an oversized frameless steam shower and separate commode. A few steps from the master suite lead to a bonus room with two skylights and recessed drawers, ideal as an /exercise room or home office -- buyer's choice. Located on the garden level is a mud room with built-in storage closets, laundry room, a second powder room and access to the oversized two-car garage, while additional leisure living can be found in the lower level recreation/game room, complete with a 1,000+ bottle temperature-controlled wine room certain to please the wine aficionado. This special home is a lovely haven for the homebuyer seeking fine suburban living at its best.
