    What's special

    Set just four minutes from town on nearly three acres adjacent to protected Land Trust property, this exceptional residence offers the privacy, scale, and tranquility of a country estate without sacrificing convenience. Sprawling lawns, stone walls, and a fully finished pool house with pool accessed through a dramatic hornbeam archway, underscore the property's exceptional outdoor living experience. The entry foyer establishes the home's architectural character, unfolding into a generous front to back gallery anchored by mahogany doors that open directly to the 33 foot covered porch and outdoor terrace. Detailed millwork, oak floors, and beautifully proportioned rooms create a sense of continuity throughout, while French doors across the principal living spaces provide a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen, family room, and informal dining area are thoughtfully arranged in an open, flowing layout oriented toward the grounds, balancing everyday comfort with effortless entertaining. A well appointed mudroom serves the practical demands of daily life with equal attention to detail. The primary suite is distinguished by soaring 12 foot ceilings and dual walk in closets. Four additional en suite bedrooms, a substantial bonus room, and a third floor guest suite/lounge complete the upper levels. The lower level is finished with a generous recreation space, half bath, media room, and a gaming room that walks out to a private terrace. Designed to function independently from the main residence, the guest and pool house includes a sitting room, kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and French doors opening directly to the pool terrace. Five plus garage bays complete this distinguished offering
