This Georgian Colonial, circa 1999, encompasses over 9,000 square feet including three fully finished levels. It delivers the kind of scale and craftsmanship that is genuinely sought after and rarely attainable. The grand two-story foyer with its sweeping curved staircase opens to a formal living room and banquet-sized dining room, each appointed with detailed millwork and hardwood floors throughout. The wood-paneled library features floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a working fireplace, creating its own special destination. The expansive kitchen features a center island, generous cabinetry and dark granite counters, all open to a sun-filled breakfast nook and a dramatic two-story family room. Walls of Palladian windows with streaming natural light and direct access to the large deck are an added bonus. Upstairs you will find a sumptuous primary suite with fireplace, generous sitting room, and a spa-caliber bath featuring a vaulted ceiling, soaking tub, dual vanities and a separate shower. The second level includes four additional well-appointed bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms. The lower level delivers a sprawling recreation room with fireplace, a full second kitchen, guest bedroom (or au pair) and full bath. The lush two acre grounds with mature plantings and serene wooded backdrop, lead directly to Difficult Run with its myriad trails and hiking opportunities. A perfect opportunity for the buyer who desires size, location and bucolic privacy. .. all combined with exceptional value.
