A gracious covered entry welcomes you to one of Merry-Go-Round Farm's largest and loveliest homes. Designed by renowned local architect Jim Rill and built in 2008, this home features about 10,000 finished square feet on a beautiful one-acre lot. Evening Ride Way is a wonderful tree-lined street of just four homes each of which is sited and built to take advantage of wonderful private views overlooking a serene pond and mature trees from every window. Covered wraparound terraces enhance the enjoyment of the community's natural beauty. The meticulously designed interior features of this "better-than-new" home include soaring ceilings, outstanding millwork, Brazilian cherry floors, and an excellent floor plan, suitable for entertaining and comfortable family living. There are seven bedrooms and seven full Bathrooms and a Powder Room on four finished levels, including two primary suites.

Four windows fill the room with light and offer a wonderful view of the delightful back yard. Accessible from the Foyer are the Living Room and Study, the latter of which has two sets of French doors leading to two covered terraces. Spanning the back of the house is the Gourmet Kitchen and light-filled breakfast area with doors to a covered terrace. Even the most discerning chef will appreciate the cream cabinetry; two separate islands; Viking range with six gas burners, griddle, and pot filler; hammered copper farm sink with disposal; and two Miele dishwashers. The Kitchen opens to the Family Room on one side and Dining and Living Rooms on the other, perfect for large­ scale entertaining.
