(Read more) hardwoods – just to name a few of the great characteristics that contribute to the elegant bones of this home.The traditional floor plan is perfect for entertaining with a large and inviting foyer that opens to the formal dining room to the right and the formal living room to the left – both with fireplaces and French doors to the covered front porch. A family room is just off of the living room and has handsome wood paneling, another fireplace, access to the shared powder room which is also accessible from the foyer, as is an enclosed porch, the back hallway to the kitchen and the 2nd staircase. The kitchen is a wonderfully roomy and light-filled space that opens to the breakfast room with a built-in butler's pantry and wet bar and has access to the dining room. It has great counter space, including a center island and built-in desk, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry and access to a mud room and the grilling patio. As you wall up the main steps, you come to a lovely sun room that has been enclosed and has a skylight, as well as a wall of windows to the landing, providing architectural interest on your way to the 2nd floor sleeping quarters which include 2 bedrooms with private baths on one end, two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the other end and a middle bedroom that is accessible from the bedrooms on either side and has French doors to the balcony over the front door. This room would also make a great central bonus or sitting room. The 3rd level has a large rec room that could also be used as a media room, a 6th bedroom or office with a built-in closet, a private bath and walk out storage off the landing. A large laundry room/workshop, additional storage and another half bath are in the basement. If additional storage is desired, you need look no further than the detached 2 bay garage or the carriage house which also has 2 bays on the main level plus another half bath which is super convenient when working in the yard or relaxing around the pool. The upper level of the carriage house has a kitchen, living room, bedroom, a full bath, walk-out storage and fantastic screened-in porches on both levels that overlook the garden and back yard. The heated Gunite pool was completely redone about 10 years ago and boasts an automatic cover, a pool house with a covered deck, changing room, equipment room and an adjoining shuffle board court. Some extras include 3 large rainwater retention tanks for watering the coveted grounds, generator, decorative leaded glass windows in the front door and landing, Zuber wallpaper in the foyer, elevator, garden, private circular driveway and so much more. You simply must see this gem for yourself to appreciate the potential, privacy and position – so convenient to all. Please call for additional information and to schedule your private showing today.
