From the solid-brick construction to the impressive address, this gated home is intriguing from the start. One look at the private, nearly four-acre yard, where nature’s beauty is on full display, and you’re sure to be smitten! Inside, sunny space abounds, especially with a converted great room lined with big windows and topped with a skylit cathedral ceiling. A loft and loads of built-in storage let this valuable wing serve myriad needs. The home’s more traditional rooms include a front-to-back living room and an open dining room, both with fireplaces and hardwood floors. The central kitchen, equipped with a new fridge, Bosch dishwasher and double ovens, adjoins the breakfast room, where wide sliders open to a sprawling paver patio surrounding a pool and integrated spa. An office quietly situated beside the marble-floored powder room makes the main level complete. Atop the stairs, an updated hall bathroom serves two corner bedrooms. Two more bedrooms have baths en suite and stunning views of the grounds, including the airy, multi-room primary with endless potential. Laundry is located both upstairs and in the basement, a perk that will be appreciated when entertaining poolside. A pretty breezeway connecting the garage is another well considered touch that demonstrates the comfortable livability of this utterly refined home.
