Special does not begin to describe this custom-built home! Designed for the present owners by Crowell & Baker Builders, careful thought and attention to detail are apparent throughout. A circular driveway with pavers leads to the covered-porch entry as well as a spacious three-car, side-entry garage and extra parking. Located on over three-quarters of an acre, this property is tucked away providing privacy on a well landscaped lot with a circular driveway with pavers for extra parking and side patio.  Every inch of this unique floorplan, which features numerous interesting architectural details, is carefully designed with each room on the main level enjoying access to the foyer. The first-floor library with its 14-plus-foot cathedral ceiling is especially inviting. Its floor-to­ ceiling bookshelves enhanced by an inlay design and a gas fireplace with ceramic tile surround create a warm and inviting space. The adjacent living room has a curved alcove with windows that provides a spectacular view of the backyard and pool. Highlighting the large dining room is a curved buffet with cabinets and a glass bowl with custom faucets. The dining room also offers easy access to the kitchen, deck, and screened porch. The kitchen/family room is a wonderful informal space with plenty of room for seating around the center island as well as space for a table and chairs. The kitchen is a chef's delight with two work areas that function as two fully equipped kitchens. The mudroom/caterer's kitchen have a large walk-in pantry, washer and dryer and access to the heated, side-entry three-car garage with built-in storage components.  A curved staircase and secondary staircase lead to the second floor with vaulted ceiling and balcony overlook. The Primary Suite was completely renovated in 2020. A foyer with a large walk-in, organized closet leads to a wonderful Primary Bedroom with custom wall-to-wall carpeting and an alcove with large windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard and pool. The recently redone custom Primary bathroom features a second large walk-in organized closet, two large vanities with rectangular sinks, mirrors and lighting, a stand-alone oval tub and separate shower. There are four additional bedrooms, each with large walk-in organized closets and wall-to-wall carpeting. Two "Jack 'n Jill" bathrooms, each with tub/shower, are shared by four bedrooms.  The finished walkout lower level provides multiple options. The lower ­level recreation room with its custom built-ins has one large storage room and an additional storage/utility room. Two additional bedrooms with two ensuite full bathrooms and an exercise room with a third full bathroom complete the lower level. Access to the backyard is available from the recreation room and the exercise room.  The outdoors of this wonderful property does not disappoint! Enjoy the recently (2021) refurbished 20 x 40 heated pool from the wonderful screened-in porch and deck or the inviting, covered flagstone patio. There is new pool equipment, an electric cover, and winter cover.
