The driveway winds up to the inviting, beautifully landscaped courtyard. A large, columned portico shelters the front entrance with divided sidelights which opens to the fabulous two-story center hall with lovely matching butterfly stairways to an upstairs balcony and two new powder rooms. There are two living rooms with fireplaces, high ceilings and bay windows and the formal dining room has bays at both ends, a fireplace and french doors to a verandah. The heart of the house is the two-story family room with a fireplace, a Palladian window and a wet bar adjoining the new country kitchen with a breakfast area, a peninsula for stools and french doors to the terrace. Adjoining this, there is a second family room with built-ins and french doors to the terrace plus an office, a panelled library with a coffered ceiling, a new bathroom and a door to a sunny balcony plus a ground-floor en suite bedroom in a wing ideal for guests or staff adjoining a side door. Upstairs is a private, south-facing master suite with a fireplace, a balcony, three exposures with treetop views, enormous closets and a luxurious new bathroom also with a Palladian window, a whirlpool bathtub and a large shower stall. There are four additional bedrooms with new en suite bathrooms, a second-floor laundry, a balcony off the hall and back stairs. The lower level has a vast family/playroom with a bar, a home theater, an exercise room, an art room, ample storage, a mudroom with cubbies and garaging for four cars. The ceilings are high as are the doors, the wonderful scale of windows brings in tremendous light, and the condition is absolutely impeccable, complete with fresh and very appealing decorating.
