Description
Nestled on 1.48 manicured acres along prestigious Broadsmoore Drive, this stately brick estate was extensively renovated and transformed inside and out, blending timeless architecture with modern luxury. A gracious circular drive and a grand two-story foyer introduce a residence reimagined as a contemporary expression of luxury living. An elegant, well-conceived floor plan spans nearly 5,900 square feet, encompassing five bedrooms on the second floor and six-and-a-half baths. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the home achieves effortless flow between formal and informal spaces-and from indoors to out. Natural light and views of the backyard stream through expansive windows and doors. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, five fireplaces, and exceptional craftsmanship define the interiors. In recent years, the residence has been completely transformed with updated mechanicals and a refined transitional aesthetic, including a showpiece kitchen renovation, redesigned baths, and a transformed outdoor oasis with renovated pool and incredible grounds. Traditional millwork, crown molding, paneled walls, bespoke niches, and arched doorways honor the home's Georgian Revival architecture, now thoughtfully recast through a contemporary lens-preserving its character while bringing it gracefully into the present. The kitchen-reinvented to echo the home's timeless ambiance and outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor, and Bosch appliances, farmhouse sink, brass accents, open shelving, a large center island, and hidden additional pantry storage-opens to a breakfast room. The adjacent family room, anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace and a new wet bar, creates a seamless flow for entertaining. Formal dining and living rooms enjoy views of the front lawn. French doors lead to a wood-paneled library with built-ins, a fireplace, and wet bar overlooking the pool. A bonus private sunroom is filled with natural light and scenic views, offering a flexible space for relaxation or work. Upstairs, a loft space flows to the primary suite behind double doors, where soaring ceilings, fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a large marble bath await. A separate bedroom wing comprises four additional bedrooms, including two with an ensuite and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. The largest suite has a private bath and sitting area that connects to the back staircase-ideal for an au pair, guest, or live-in staff. The updated English basement doubles as a versatile entertaining level with a recreation and gaming area, full bath, second kitchen, and an impressive new gym-spacious enough to rival any commercial fitness studio. Beyond, professionally designed landscaping provides the backdrop for a private resort-style setting primed for outdoor entertaining featuring a resurfaced and replumbed pool with new decking, wading area, and spa, surrounded by terraces and outdoor gas firepit. A custom treehouse and batting cage round out the outdoor amenities, creating a private playground for all ages. Every inch of this estate reflects quality, care, and livability-a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern luxury in one of the North Shore's most sought-after enclaves.
