Take the concrete, winding drive past the pond and the park-like grounds to the beautiful 7,200 sq. ft. home. With lush landscaping surrounding it, the deep, covered porch wraps around the front of the house and is one of a number of great outdoor living spaces. Inside, a large foyer opens to the grand staircase and to the open concept floor plan that includes a large living room with a fireplace, bright kitchen, and dining room. The kitchen, with upscale professional appliances (Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador professional range, convection oven, warming drawer) has a large island with a sink, peninsula/bar, a great deal of cabinetry/work surfaces a tin-style ceiling, and a butler's pantry. The mudroom, with a powder room, is a large area that's central to the four-car garage, kitchen and to the laundry room, making this a very convenient and functional space. The laundry/project room (farmhouse sink, large banks of cabinetry/counter space and an additional roll-out desk) is a pass-through room opening to the oversized master closet, a 16 x 13 ft. space with a center island. This oversized closet leads to the master bathroom with walk-in shower, soaking tub, and dual vanities. The master bedroom has a rounded sitting area leading to a private screened-in porch and a delightful patio with a pergola. The mudroom area opens to the pergola-covered side porch as well as to the large, open deck overlooking the tree line and with stairs leading to the cobblestone path. The three-story wood-trimmed staircase leads to the upper level's landing and the study. Bedrooms two and three each have fantastic views and spacious walk-in closets. The 4th BR will be finished within the month and has a walk-in closet with a play room beyond. A large full bath completes this upper level. Take one of two staircases down to the walk-out, finished lower level that offers a full kitchen/bar, breakfast area, billiard room, theater room and exercise room that includes a built-in spa (by CalSpas) and a large, unfinished storage/utility room. Not-to-miss features include central vac, garage with walk-in attic storage, outbuilding with a covered front porch, two oversized garage doors that allow for boat/RV storage, in-house circulating hot water, and radiant in-floor heat.
