With the palatial elegance of a European villa, this stunning residence presents a sophisticated ambiance and fine craftsmanship – all in a manicured garden setting. Grand architectural statements begin at the elaborate front entrance and continue inside where a marble floor medallion replicated overhead in a stained glass dome provides a fitting prelude to the refined design. Fluted columns topped with sconces frame the entrances to each of the main living areas while deep crown mouldings and tiled flooring unify the space. Designed for gracious entertaining as well as relaxed everyday enjoyment, the flowing floorplan seamlessly moves from one room to another, many of which are brightened by skylights with remote control functionality. A fireplace with an exquisitely hand-carved granite mantelpiece anchors the formal living and dining room ensemble while a second fireplace in the adjoining family room invites casual enjoyment. Here, a fully equipped bar and media center stand ready for extended gatherings with family and friends. Perfectly positioned to cater gourmet meals, the kitchen is a true chef’s domain with recessed lighting, custom cherry wood cabinets, 6-burner Wolf range w/ griddle & 2 ovens (elect convection & gas), Broan professional hood, 2 Sub-Zero fridge/freezers, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, KitchenAid dishwasher, Wolf wall oven & warming drawer, Dacor microwave, Sub-Zero wine cooler, granite counter tops, marble tile back splash & much much more! Rounding out the main living areas is a handsome, customized library that doubles as an office with built-in granite desk and separate computer station.
Providing personal retreats for any need, the home’s 6 bedrooms are arranged in two separate wings, highlighted by the romantic master suite with two spa-inspired bathrooms. Two additional suites in the main bedroom wing plus two bedrooms on the opposite side of the home are ideal for extended family members, guests, or an au pair. Outside, the grounds are equally impressive with an expansive and private rear yard that boasts a vast stretch of level lawn beyond an inviting terrace. Two rock gardens feature waterfall fountains for soothing sounds, while numerous towering trees add to the tranquil garden environment. With its convenient location near major commute routes plus access to excellent local schools, this exceptional property provides the perfect place to call home.
