Description
Imagine coming home to a place that feels like a dream-a timeless retreat where every detail has been carefully considered, blending elegance with warmth. This custom-built, 6,000-square-foot estate is more than just a house; it is a place where memories are made, where life's biggest milestones are celebrated, and where every season brings new beauty. From the moment you arrive, the story begins. The stunning curb appeal draws you in, with its classic architecture and enchanting presence. Stepping through the grand entrance, you are immediately captivated by the breathtaking foyer, where a magnificent chandelier sparkles above a gracefully curved staircase. This is the kind of staircase where special moments are captured-prom photos, wedding day entrances, and joyful holiday gatherings. Moving through the home, the heart of it all unfolds. Every room showcases exquisite craftsmanship, from the 10-foot ceilings to the intricate coffered and tray ceilings, curved walls, wainscoting, and crown molding that add depth and character to every space. The formal dining room is a masterpiece, a place where holiday feasts and lively dinner parties come to life beneath an impressive ceiling. A butler's pantry seamlessly connects to the gourmet kitchen, offering a Subzero ice machine, a beverage fridge, and a massive kitchen pantry. In the heart of the home, the kitchen itself is a chef's delight, featuring granite countertops, a Viking six-burner stove with a pot filler, a Bosch espresso maker, exquisite cabinetry, and a spacious area for informal dining. Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen, the great room invites you to gather around the custom gas fireplace with built-ins, creating a cozy yet refined atmosphere. And then, there is the sunroom-your personal retreat, no matter the season. Surrounded by walls of windows, this expansive space is warmed by heaters, ceiling fans, and an electric fireplace, making it the perfect place to sip coffee in the morning or unwind as you watch the snow fall in winter, the flowers bloom in spring, and the leaves turn gold in autumn. Tucked away like a hidden treasure, a Gentleman's Room invites you to step back in time-a moody, speakeasy-style space designed for savoring bourbon, cigars, and quiet conversation. A private home office offers the perfect retreat for work or study, while a powder room adds convenience for guests. The first floor is also home to both a mudroom and a spacious laundry room, providing ample storage and everyday functionality. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously sized, each featuring spacious closets and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The primary suite is a sanctuary, with a spa-like en-suite, a massive walk-in closet, and custom built-ins. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the third enjoys its own private en-suite. A second-floor laundry room and a private gym above the heated garage add to the thoughtful design of this home. But the story doesn't end here-the entire third floor is a blank canvas waiting for your vision. A yoga retreat? A home theater? A teen hangout or children's playroom? The possibilities are endless, allowing you to shape this space to fit your lifestyle. Even more potential awaits below, with an unfinished basement ready to be transformed. With roughed-in plumbing for a full bathroom and a gas fireplace, it's a space just waiting to become your dream entertainment area, home bar, or additional living quarters. Outside, the backyard is a true sanctuary, designed to impress in every season. A stamped concrete patio provides the perfect setting for summer barbecues, while the built-in grill, landscape lighting, and outdoor speakers controlled by the Sonos system create an entertainer's paradise. The irrigation system ensures lush greenery, while the pink crabapple tree blossoms in spring, vibrant flowers bloom in summer, fiery leaves paint the yard in autumn, and glistening snow turns it into a winter w
