Blending old-world elegance with modern amenities, this exceptional home features classical architecture in a tranquil setting. Custom millwork, 7-inch crown molding, and generous ceiling heights enhance its allure, while 7 elliptical French doors, 3 fireplaces, true divided light windows, and 5 archways allow abundant natural sunlight and offer breathtaking views of the grounds. The two-story entrance foyer, featuring 4 windows and 2 window seats that enhance its charm, introduces a bright and airy floor plan. Entered through a deep custom archway, the grandly proportioned living room—once horse stalls—boasts high ceilings, walnut flooring, custom shell bookcases with cabinets, a gas fireplace, and a large French door. The dining room, with its fireplace and 3 elliptical French doors, offers views of an ivy-covered French brick courtyard. The custom-built kitchen, recently updated with marble countertops and polished nickel Rohl hardware, includes custom-made cabinetry, a Viking stove, dishwasher, convection microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, large pantry, and walnut flooring. An archway leads to the family room, where another fireplace enhances the elegant atmosphere, and doors open to a large flagstone and brick terrace, perfect for entertaining. The home office, featuring 2 large windows with deep sills, walnut flooring, and crown molding, is complemented by a convenient first-floor laundry room. Ascend the custom carved staircase to the second floor to discover the luxurious primary bedroom. This retreat includes a tray ceiling, fireplace, cupola with a custom copper weathervane, and a private balcony. The primary bathroom, formerly a hay loft, showcases marble and limestone vanities and floors, along with charming casement windows. Three additional spacious bedrooms all feature dormers and window seats, with ample storage solutions throughout the residence designed to meet all organizational needs. Situated on a level rectangular lot, the exquisitely landscaped grounds feature 52 boxwood plants and white hydrangeas. Two terraces—one flagstone and the other brick—offer serene settings for relaxation. There’s plenty of room to add a pool and pool house, an extra room, or an additional garage. The exterior of the house, built with terracotta block and white stucco on a stone foundation, is topped with a slate roof and copper gutters. This home is truly a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship.
