Savor the surprises in this capable, beautiful, pristine home. Where you would normally expect three – maybe four – full bathrooms, there are FIVE. Save for the media room, there’s not a strand of carpet in sight (allergy sufferers unite!). A roomy finished basement trumpets fun and entertainment, but it’s the sublime outdoor living spaces - centered around a refreshing saltwater pool - that gently whisper your name. A swath of undevelopable natural area behind the home affords unrivaled privacy.
