Completed in 2012, this gracious residence is perfectly situated on 2.07 richly landscaped acres with lovely views of open lush lawns and flowering gardens. A gently sloping semicircular drive rises to arrive at the six-bedroom home.

Architectural details play across the exterior stone and clapboard façade. An attractive centerpiece portico and Palladian window directs guests to the welcoming entry. Once inside, the double height grand foyer opens to spacious and well-proportioned rooms that flow easily from one to the next.

The foyer features a graceful curvilinear staircase and lightfilled clerestory windows. Handsome custom millwork adds refinement and interest. Oak floors and 10-foot high ceilings distinguish the interiors, and principal rooms are oriented to the south. Through glass-paned French doors, they have access to an expansive entertainer’s bluesone patio that spans the back of the home. There are fabulous views of the lush lawns and the sparkling, heated gunite pool. Hand crafted custom moldings enhance the intimate library/office that is accessed through glass-paned French doors off the foyer.

The double height great room is centered on a fireplace flanked by glass-paned French doors. Clerestory windows bathe the interior in natural light. Gorgeous coffered ceilings and lovely wainscoting add elegance to the formal dining room.

The butler’s pantry has attractive custom storage cabinetry, a granite countertop, a wine cooler and an ice maker. It leads to the spacious kitchen that is beautifully equipped for gatherings and entertaining. White custom cabinetry, Calcutta marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a large prep island with refrigerator drawers and a pretty backsplash detail add to the cohesive design. There is an informal dining area that overlooks the bluestone patio and rear garden.

The kitchen opens to the family room that features a wood burning fireplace with a stone surround. French doors with transom lights overlook the rear patio and gardens. There is a staircase that leads to both the second and the lower levels.

The sweeping curved grand staircase arrives at the secondfloor landing with balcony views of both the entry foyer and great room. It leads to a second master suite with an en suite bath. Three additional spacious bedrooms with en suite baths and a laundry closet complete this level.

The sublime master suite sits at the east wing of the home. Through double doors, this secluded retreat opens into a hall with custom dressing closets and two spa-like marble baths. Luxuries include rainfall showers, a jetted soaking tub and in-floor radiant heat. The sumptuous and spacious master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling. French doors with sidelights and transom windows open to the bluestone patio and rear gardens.

The lower level has a sophisticated entertaining area with a glass enclosed 440-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar that is the backdrop for a fabulous black honed granite bar. The sleek bar has seating on one side and both refrigerator and freezer drawers and a dishwasher on the other. Striking custom glass-paned black steel doors slide on tracks to reveal a comfortable media room with built-in cabinetry and a heat and glo remote controlled fireplace.

Pocket doors open to a powder room. A wonderful spacious playroom has built-in cabinetry and a full bath. The gymnasium has rubberized floors, and an interior window provides views into the playroom. The large laundry room has built-in cabinetry with white wainscoting and top-ofthe-line appliances. There is a bedroom and a full bath that complete the lower level.

Lush gardens include drifts of hydrangea and roses, specimen trees and broad green lawns. There is a periphery of trees and flowering shrubs that frame the property. A play area features a cedar climber and swingset. The home has a three-bay heated attached garage with built-in storage, landscape lighting, security and irrigation systems, a full house generator and a safety fence surrounding the in-ground pool. Smart technology controls the lights and media systems including Sonos sound. Digital climate controls are accessed through a smart app. These are among the many notable amenities that add to the classic style and luxurious modern sophistication this home and property offer.
