Welcome to your forever home! This stately Georgian colonial features elegant curb appeal with its circular drive and manicured landscaping. A side-loading, 3 car garage and parking area provide ample space for large gatherings. As evening falls, twilight lighting gives this home a truly magical appearance. Built in a manner seldom seen in new construction, upon entering the grand two story foyer, you begin to take in the gracious scale and design features of this home. The rooms were planned to accommodate both grand receptions and intimate family gatherings. Rich, hardwood flooring runs seamlessly throughout the main and upper levels. Exquisite moldings, 6 interior fireplaces (4 have been converted to gas), tall ceilings and beautiful windows give one the feeling of timelessness. The formal living room and dining room flank the entrance foyer. The large and welcoming family room with its paneled ceiling and soaring windows adjoins the kitchen which has been updated to make any chef’s heart sing. This is a huge working space, the hightlights of which include a double island, a 6 burner gas range with double ovens, a hammered metal prep sink and a separate ice maker and beverage refrigerator. The breakfast area of the kitchen leads to an outdoor deck with travertine tile which overlooks the resort-styled rear yard. Completing the main floor is a private, paneled office with its own fireplace and balcony, multiple powder rooms, laundry and mudroom as well as a rear staircase. On the second level, one entire wing is devoted to the primary suite. This space has a stunning new bathroom, gas fireplace, sitting area and a charming balcony overlooking the rear yard. The four secondary bedrooms in the adjoining wing are all beautifully sized, 3 with updated en suite bathrooms and all have walk-in closets. The final upper level is a massive, skylit space with another full bathroom. The home’s lower level is a fully finished walk out space with four distinct entertaining areas, a two-sided gas fireplace, and a built-in bar. There is another bedroom and full bath on this floor as well as generous storage spaces. Multiple sets of doors lead to the back yard designed by Fine Landscapes. The owners have created a spectacular space outside. This home is situated on a very private lot, just under 2 acres, and backs to the tree-lined conservation area of the Madeira School. Stone patios create multiple entertaining options and areas. Gather around the stone, gas fireplace or take a dip in the magnificent, heated pool. The waterfall spa gives one a perfect view of the fantastic covered pavilion area with its stunning stone, wood burning fireplace, perfect for watching games on the television. A stacked stone bar creates an excellent party hub. At dusk, the surrounding landscape, pool and waterfall are beautifully lit. If you didn’t know better, you might think you were in Aspen! This home, on this property, gives you what a new build cannot. The owners have meticulously maintained their home updating all important infrastructure items. With its 6 bedrooms, huge loft suite and 6 full and 2 half bathrooms, this home can easily accommodate an au pair or in-law suite. Located in a strong school pyramid and convenient to world class shopping, dining and commuter options, this is absolutely a dream home! The pool’s open; what are you waiting for?
