Handsome wooden entrance gates open through the beautiful stone wall. A columned portico shelters the classic front door with divided lights opening to the inviting center hall with wide-board oak floors which continue through the main floor and a Waterworks powder room. The front-to-back living room with a fireplace has lovely lighted bookcases and garden views, the banquet-sized dining room has a floor-to-ceiling bay window, and the library has windows on three sides with french doors to the wraparound pergolas with flagstone floors. The heart of the house is the superbly designed family room/kitchen with a vaulted, beamed ceiling, a fireplace, an archway over a wide bay window with a window seat and three exposures including a door to a verandah. The gourmet kitchen area has a large island and classic white cabinetry with nickel hardware. The master suite has a sublime bedroom, a solarium sitting room with wonderful views, two dressing closets and a marble bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a steam shower. There are four additional bedrooms with three new bathrooms plus a laundry room. The lower level has a large, sixth bedroom with a bathroom, a family room/media room, a mudroom, a wine cellar, a second laundry room and a pool cabana opening to the pool area with a wet bar, a generous bathroom and a sauna. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking with the most exciting disappearing-edge pool, superb terraces and a hidden Har-Tru tennis court. The copper beech tree is a treat and subtle night lighting enhances the evening appeal of this property in this sought after area close to town. Impeccable is an understatement for this lovely estate with a cedar roof, interior design and lighting by a noted designer, memorable Nanz custom brass olive knuckle hinges on substantial doors, an elaborate sound system and a feel of a "just right" and inviting home with charm brought to a totally new standard for today.
