In the formal living room, you find exquisite crown molding, detailed wood panels surround the marble wood burning fireplace. Step down into the adjacent bright, airy sunroom overlooking the beautiful grounds, phenomenal sunset views are yours every evening. A door leads to the professionally manicured gardens bringing the outdoors in. Step up into the den with custom built-ins. The dining room is illuminated by an exquisite crystal chandelier and includes custom corner cabinets, chair rail molding, and lush garden views. The butler pantry offers a custom hammered copper sink, matching copper drawer and cabinet pulls, and imported tile backsplash. The breakfast room adjoins and is a warm and inviting place to enjoy a sunrise continental breakfast and a french press coffee under the light of the whimsical chandelier. The kitchen is an exquisite, with custom cabinets, imported granite counters, sub-zero refrigerator and top of the line appliances, a cooks delight! The kitchen peninsula houses the oven and cooktop so the chef is never left out of a conversation. The powder bathroom has oak hardwoods that have had custom period paint applied to retain the charm and character of this grand colonial. The mudroom offers custom storage, access to the attached two car garage and the back staircase leading up to a private suite with full bath over the garage. The 2nd floor is as grand as the first. No detail was overlooked. The spacious second-floor hallway is bright and open. The 2nd bedroom has it's own anteroom with dual closets. The Hall bath is a work of art with a custom design using multiple types of white marble such as Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, and Thassos all polished and meticulously selected for this space. The same marbles are again seen in the master bathroom in a more modern look for the spacious shower with seamless glass surround and radiant heated floors. The master suite is entered via its own private hallway which leads to the sitting room with built-in shelving, your own private retreat or use it as another bedroom. The dressing room connects to the gracious master suite. Up the stairs the third floor which includes extra finished space and an enormous cedar closet. Still need more?
