Distinctive and Private An estate ambience abounds. Set on almost 2.5 acres, adjacent to the town forest, giant thujas, weeping cherry blossoms, and mature magnolias provide color and four-season privacy. Antique brick harvested from a 140-year-old estate graces the facade while elegant craftsmanship defines each impressive space. A gorgeous and massive chef's kitchen opens to the family room which shares a pass-thru fireplace to the living room. Soaring windows provide sweeping private views of the property which include a heated, saltwater 50'x20' sports pool, 32'x18' exquisite pergola, spectacular gazebo and heated outdoor shower. A stunning Murano glass chandelier (included) sparkles over the foyer, while a regal dining room, accented with cabinetry, connects to the kitchen through a wine pantry. The old English cherry-lined library features a balcony offering a second space for study. Two staircases access the second floor. The primary suite is a refuge, featuring a fireplace, spa bath, and access to the second-floor library. A large guest suite is a fantastic amenity, and all bedrooms are light with good closets and updated baths. Natural light fills the lower level with a 120" movie screen, 7.1 surround sound, with a sink, fridge and 1/2 bath. This one-owner home is commanding, yet comfortable. Close to everything - but a world away.
