Welcome to Arundel, a one-of-a-kind estate envisioned by playwright Joseph Hayes, whose passion for medieval theatre inspired its dramatic architecture and timeless design. Nestled on nearly 6 pristine acres, this enchanting retreat features sweeping lawns, shimmering ponds with fountains, private putting green, a charming guest cottage, and a six-car garage. Inside the main residence, luxury unfolds at every turn. The grand gathering room is a true showpiece, where a sunken stone fireplace and soaring ceilings create a spectacular backdrop for entertaining. The formal dining room invites memorable dinners, while the chef's kitchen blends function with refined style. Two main-level primary suites, one with a gracious private foyer, spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets, and a secluded deck overlooking the pond. The other offers a full bath and the warmth of a stone fireplace. Upstairs includes three additional bedrooms, two with private balconies, a laundry room, and hall bath. The lower level is designed for recreation and entertaining, featuring a gaming and billiards rooms, home gym, and lounge that opens directly to the patio and hot tub. Equally alluring is the separate guest cottage with full kitchen and bath, ideal for visitors, an au pair, or home business. Practice your swing on the putting green or in the state-of-the-art golf simulator. Car collectors will revel in the six-car tandem garage and expansive circular driveway. Blending artistry, luxury, and leisure, Arundel is more than a home, it's a destination.
