It may not be all about the pool (it is a spectacular house too) but it is a pretty amazing pool, fire-pit, hot tub and entertainment area all tucked into nature including a babbling brook. The pool is salt-water, heated and has two fountains subtly flowing from the columns. Hot tub has auto-lift open/close cover. Stone pool decking, cabana plus another covered lounging area under the deck. All built last year. The deck graciously descends from the stunning main floor dining room down to the pool which is also accessible from the lower level where you will find the home theatre, expansive rec room, new full bath, bedroom currently used as a gym and a large game-room. Perfect for entertaining and relaxation. The luxurious second-floor primary bedroom has en-suite spa bathroom, walkin closet, Juliette balcony overlooking the pool and sitting room that overlooks the living room. So many features including Tesla charger, full-house generator and all the gorgeous new light fixtures are included. This custom 5500sf Tudor-style home with 5 bedrooms & 4 full baths is located on a quiet dead-end street and turn-key ready.
