Situated on a private 4.6-acre cul-de-sac, this modern residence blends seamlessly into its historic landscape, surrounded by mature trees.
Designed by architect Jim Peterson and built by Wissing and DiCario Construction, this home showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Its well-planned layout allows for smooth transitions between spaces, combining modern design with a welcoming atmosphere.
With 6,962 square feet, the home includes five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The formal and informal living areas connect to a spacious dining room and a kitchen designed for both function and style. Smart-home technology via Control4 enhances convenience, while a neutral palette highlights the surrounding countryside.
The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a central island, Thermador appliances, and a Miele coffee bar. The first-floor primary suite offers custom walk-in closets by Closets By Design, a second laundry, a private patio, and a master bathroom with an oversized marble shower. The main level also includes a guest bedroom, full and half bathrooms, a laundry room, mudroom, and a planning desk leading to the attached garage.
The lower level expands the home's living space with two bedrooms sharing a bath and a large entertainment area. A stone hearth, full bar, and billiards area make this space ideal for relaxation and gatherings.
The property is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. A Chicago Brick Oven wood-fired pizza oven highlights the patio, while a carriage house provides additional living space with a bedroom, full bath, entertainment area, and workout space. The estate also includes an additional three-car garage and a half basketball court.
This home offers a rare combination of history, modern design, and functionality, creating a space that is both timeless and livable.
