Elegance and privacy await in this spectacular 5BR Tudor Colonial with exquisite architectural detail and an abundance of amenities throughout. Set on 3.5 park-like acres, the gorgeous drive into the home passes a sprawling pond with bridge to a 42’ diameter island (spring-fed, fishing, rowing). The home’s stone entrance includes a large, classic foyer with circular staircase and Carrera marble tile. The two-story grand living room has an upper library loft and stone fireplace, while the adjacent family room has a stone fireplace and sliders to the stone patio and pool. The kitchen is state-of-the-art with Wolf double ovens and gas cooktop, sub-zero fridge, wine cooler, granite counters, and large picture window looking out over the serene pool setting. Over-sized formal dining with views of the pond and fountain. The Master Bedroom suite includes a separate sitting room and luxurious Master Bath. Four additional bedrooms, with one on the main level with private bath. The house has been professionally wired for high-speed internet by Cisco Systems and audio by Sonos. Additional vacation-like amenities include totally private and beautiful saltwater heated I/G pool with waterfall, hot tub, and an upper lawn with bocce court abutting woods/nature. Back yard and pool area are completely fenced. This incredible home and unique setting can't be duplicated, setting it apart from anything else on the market!
