This 5,000 square foot Dixon Peer custom Colonial boasts superb architectural detailing, fine craftsmanship, top amenities and a desirable Northside address. Elaborate crown moldings adorn 9-1/2 high ceilings in spacious rooms anchored on hardwood floors, all arranged in an enviable classic center hall floor plan. Light cascades into a gracious fireside living room from oversized windows, as French doors open to an open concept family room and kitchen that together span the rear of the home with picture-windowed views of a large bluestone patio and private level yard set against a backdrop of woodlands. A wood-burning focal fireplace and custom media cabinet make the family room comfortable yet elegant -- the perfect place for informal gatherings -- while the adjoining kitchen is designed for today's easy lifestyle. A blend of country blue and white cabinetry and decorative tile backsplashes add warmth and charm, enhanced with high-end appliances that include a Viking 6-burner cooktop, SubZero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. A large center island with seating and a walk-in pantry are essentials, with two sets of French doors that open to the patio for extended al fresco dining and relaxation. A nearby mud room with custom-built cubbies accesses both the patio and three-car attached garage. The formal dining room flanks the center hall reception foyer opposite the living room, creating a flow that is conducive to gracious entertaining. Framed with distinctive raised panel wainscoting, the dining room has French doors that open to a handsome library with rich cherry custom cabinetry. 2nd floor The master suite is gracious and spacious, featuring two custom-fitted walk-in closets and master bath with double vanity, jetted tub, walk-in frameless shower and separate commode. Four additional bedrooms and two full baths complete this level. Double custom-fitted closets enhance each bedroom. The hallway is open and airy, with light that comes in from a pretty ocular window, along with a laundry and linen closet. Stairs lead to a fully floored attic that is plumbed for heat, water and electric, offering excellent expansion possibilities. Lower level The expansive lower level is a footprint of the upper two floors; one side features a finished recreation room with high ceilings and natural light, an office, a half bath and storage rooms; the other side is unfinished, ideal as a workshop, extra storage or a potential finished space, if desired.
