Classic Colonial in sought-after Silvermine, set on four acres of protected natural surroundings that offer a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and enduring character. Mature trees, preserved wetlands, and seasonal views create a landscape that feels both expansive and intimately connected to nature, while a conservation easement helps ensure these surroundings remain protected for generations to come. Inside, elegant living spaces and thoughtful design create a home equally suited to quiet enjoyment and effortless entertaining. A two-story entry opens to an oversized formal living room, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room. Two main-level offices offer flexibility for today's lifestyle. The primary bedroom features a spa-like bath with heated floors and dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms include two en-suite baths. A private fifth bedroom with sitting room and full bath is ideal for in-law or au pair. Finished basement and full-house generator complete this exceptional offering.
