Hidden beyond a private gated drive, majestically sited atop 5.5 enchanting acres, Fox Lair reveals herself. A 1938 English manor reimagined for today, timeless architectural detail meets modern updates resulting in a home equally suited to formal entertaining or the rigors & joys of family life. The romance of a bygone era blends seamlessly with the spacious gourmet kitchen, family rooms, media & yoga rooms and 5 bedroom suites. Beyond its formal elegance, this sun-drenched home warmly embraces family life. The sweeping lawns, infinity-edge pool, sunken sport court, hidden nature trails, and storybook skating pond, elevated by Robin Kramer's impeccable landscape, are simply magical. Grace, elegance and soul, hallmarks of a legacy property, imbue every aspect of life at Fox Lair.
