Description

Welcome to this elegant waterfront residence where timeless design meets modern sophistication. Beautifully landscaped grounds and a stream-fed pond set the stage for a grand arrival. Stately columns and a manicured lawn frame the classic façade, offering a glimpse of the refined interiors within. Inside, the foyer is appointed with dentil crown molding and box wainscoting, custom millwork echoed throughout the main level. The formal living room offers warmth and style with hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, plantation shutters, and sunlit windows. The adjacent formal dining room features another fireplace, detailed millwork, hardwood floors, and a ceiling medallion, all overlooking the lush front lawn. Designed for entertaining, the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, a KitchenAid island cooktop, peninsula island, double Thermador ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a second prep sink in the breakfast area. Just off the kitchen, step into the screened-in porch—an ideal extension of the space and a peaceful spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. From there, access the expansive 1,000 sq ft deck with integrated propane grill and outdoor kitchen, all overlooking tranquil pond views. The dramatic, two-story family room impresses with exposed beams, a pellet stove, and Palladian windows that frame the scenery. A custom spiral staircase leads to a loft library, perfect as an executive office with built-in shelving and workspace. Upstairs, the home’s sleeping quarters are thoughtfully arranged across two upper levels to provide both comfort and privacy. The second floor hosts the luxurious primary suite along with three additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the third floor offers two more spacious bedrooms and another full bath, ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace, a serene sitting room, two walk-in closets, and a separate dressing area. The en suite bath is spa-inspired, featuring a soaking tub, custom vanity with built-in shelving, and a personal cedar wood closet. Each of the three secondary bedrooms on this level offers generous space, natural light, and convenient access to the shared bath. On the top level, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide excellent flexibility for guest accommodations, an au pair suite, or creative studio space. The finished lower level expands your living space with a large recreation room featuring a sleek electric fireplace and a step-down game room with a full-size bar, perfect for billiards, ping pong, or movie nights. Function meets flexibility in the oversized three-car garage, which includes a dedicated workshop area and ample storage, ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone in need of extra space. Set on over 3 acres, the grounds include a lush lawn, newly planted fruit trees, and access to the scenic, stream-fed community pond, perfect for fishing or quiet reflection.
