“Outstanding” describes everything about this magnificent custom built home! From its setting on 1.3+ beautiful, landscaped acres and continuing throughout the 10-room, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,900+ sf home with exceptional millwork, built-ins, hardwood floors, 1st floor office, and 2nd floor laundry. A unique floor plan w/ classic pocket doors that allow (or not) for a fully open concept is masterful. The foyer opens to a huge fireplaced dining room w/ a lighted tray ceiling leading to the kitchen with chef-worthy appliances such as a Wolf stove. An adjacent dining area has a built-in bar with wine fridge, while a fireplace and window seats are in the family room with French doors to a sprawling back porch and large bluestone patio with granite firepit. A 2nd floor primary “sanctuary” has a sitting area, cherry walk-in closet, private balcony & luxury spa-bath with walk-in shower. Let’s not forget the great room, guest quarters and bath on the finished lower level. Now this is a must-see!
