JUST REDUCED! Gracious, five-bedroom colonial sited on park-like grounds in a coveted, cul-de-sac neighborhood! This pristine home comes with membership to Lake Hills Assoc., which grants by deed ownership and usage of the private Samp Mortar Reservoir! Across the street is a private beach where you may enjoy the amenities of lakeside living! This lovely home was designed with sophistication and entertaining in mind with 4,000sf of living space (total 7,044sf) and offers quality craftsmanship, freshly painted neutral palette, open floor-plan with multiple entertainment areas, custom cabinetry and mill work, stunning quartz countertops and high-end Viking and Bosch SS appliances. The master-bedroom suite offers a sitting area, walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom with a whirlpool tub, dual sinks, stall shower and a laundry closet. A second stairway brings you to a generously-sized wing (634sf) and may be used as a playroom or an au pair/in-law suite and has built-in cabinetry and access to a full bathroom. There is a private office and a beautiful sunroom with mahogany flooring that overlooks the landscaped and irrigated yard and an irrigated, fenced-in vegetable/herb garden! The lowest level of this home has a finished basement with a 750-bottle, climate-controlled wine cellar, and there is a whole-house Generac generator, hard-wired to automatically turn on if there is a power outage. This lovely home is only five minutes to the train station and town amenities! See Addm.
The field card states four bedrooms, however the wing (634sf) has a closet and a nearby bathroom, so it may be used as a fifth bedroom/in law. The field card errantly states a "half bath." The fenced-in, vegetable garden is fully irrigated and the finished cellar is heated (baseboard, electric) and has its own zone. The flooring is in-part tiled and carpeted. The garages accommodate three cars; an extra bay can be used for the storage of mower tractors, mopeds, etc.
