Description

Nestled among specimen trees and landscaping designed for a designated Monarch butterfly waystation is this stately Colonial, offering an abundance of upgrades and features. Beginning at the grand entry foyer with marble flooring and a curved staircase, the high ceilings and custom millwork will delight you. To the left of the foyer is a formal living room with hardwood floors, which opens to a bright and airy conservatory with stone tile flooring. On the opposite side of the foyer is a dining room, with custom wainscoting and French pocket doors, perfect for entertaining. The dining room is adjacent to the Butler’s Pantry with filtered water faucet, a walk-in coat closet, and a grand Chef’s kitchen. The kitchen boasts ample cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, two dishwashers, complete with gas cooking, connected to the huge family room with a gas fireplace. The kitchen and living spaces at the back of the home offer views of the stunning patios and gardens. If this is not enough, a huge, private office with a gas fireplace surrounded by a custom mantel, marble surround, flanked by built-in bookcases is adjacent to the kitchen and family room. The embossed ceiling adds to the grandeur and warmth of this room. This level also includes a full bath with a bathtub and shower, adjacent to the mudroom with closet, just inside the attached two car garage. There is a convenient exit from this full bath to the back yard. A convenient powder room is located near the living room and conservatory. Ascend the grand staircase to the second floor, through a custom decorative door into the primary suite, which features a third gas fireplace, custom crown molding, a large storage/flex space, two walk-in closets and a fully renovated bathroom, with heated tile floors, custom sink, a soaking tub and a walk-in tile and glass shower. Five additional bedrooms on this level are great sizes, with generous closets. Two hall baths and a second floor stackable washer and dryer complete this floor. The third custom bath on this level also has radiant heat under the tile flooring in the shower room. The artisan sinks in some of the bathrooms are truly special. The lower level boasts a huge finished room that could be a single bedroom or converted to multiple bedrooms, which is adjacent to a large full bath with an artisan sink, custom vanity and a walk-in tile shower. There is another large finished room with radiant heat in under the tile flooring that could be a bedroom, office, studio, exercise or yoga room. This room has great closet space and there are three walk-in closets in the hall just outside this room. The unfinished part of the basement is extensive and offers newer utilities, a radon system, a walk-up with Bilco doors, and a second laundry area. The grounds are truly lovely, with pathways that surround the house, patios, trees and other specimen plantings. One can imagine spending time outside gardening, entertaining and relaxing in the peace and quiet. The level of upgrades in this custom home are unmatched in the area. The roof, soffits, gutters and downspouts were new in 2018. The dual zoned HVAC was new in 2014. A tankless water heater was added recently. There is a new stainless, double oven in the kitchen. A sump pump was also replaced recently. There are numerous, newer mini-split systems throughout the home offering comfort at every level.
