This exceptional estate home was built with the utmost attention to design, detail, and function on a private 1.85-acre oasis. With its newly-installed and site-finished red oak flooring, exquisite millwork, timeless finishes, and decorative ceilings, you can entertain with ease in the open flow of the formal dining room, the beautifully-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and living room where an abundance of natural light streams in from the bow windows. The living room also features a shiplap ceiling with beams and custom cabinetry and shelving flanking a gas fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone surround. The thoughtfully-designed kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end Thermador appliances, an enormous Electrolux refrigerator/freezer, and a generous center island with ample seating. Add to that the butler's pantry, with wet bar and wine fridge, and you have the perfect gathering space for family and friends. Also on the main level is a study and a guest suite adjoined seamlessly with its own private living space that could serve beautifully for in-laws or aging parents. On the second floor you'll find a fabulous owner's retreat including a large sitting room with a beautiful stone accent wall and gas fireplace, a luxurious spa bath featuring a walk-in shower, elegant tub, an expansive double vanity, heated floors, and a huge walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving, dressers, and full-length mirror. The abundance of function continues with three more spacious bedrooms each with an ensuite bath, a fitness room, and a game room. Outside there is also much to enjoy. Dine under the spacious covered porch with gas fireplace, watch your favorite show or catch a game under the lower-level covered patio with wood-burning fireplace, or relax around the fire pit or on the sprawling stone patio surrounding the heated, salt-water pool and spa. The home also includes an outdoor kitchen and a 3-car garage with epoxy flooring as well as cabinets and slatwall panels for great organization. You must see this gorgeous home to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
