As you first step into this stunning French Manor Home, built as a builder’s personal residence, you will instantly know it is exceptional. This 9,000+ Square foot home’s award-winning architectural design is further enhanced by the lavish millwork and detailed attention to custom finishes throughout. The setting is serene, sited at the back of a cul-de-sac on two partially wooded acres with views of a gently flowing creek and quiet pond. This home offers 5 bedrooms, five full and two half baths, as well as a separate carriage or guest house with an additional bedroom, full bath, kitchen and laundry. A welcoming two-story foyer greets you with an extra wide hall that extends to the rear of the home. Ten-foot ceilings, expansive rooms, oversized doors, and an abundance of windows create an open yet elegant feel. The formal living room and dining room are embellished with architectural details. A perfectly appointed gourmet kitchen with center island and custom cabinetry flows into a sunlit breakfast room. The breakfast room, in turn, leads to a terrace, from which the gentle sound of the babbling brook below can be heard. A great room with a magnificent floor to ceiling stone fireplace and a large private office also feature as gems on this level. The upper level, accessed by a sweeping staircase boasts a luxurious master suite with a fireplace, his and hers walk-in closets and a spa like master bath. Tucked into the crown molding of the master suite is mood lighting that provides a warm glow and perfectly frames stylish twin chandeliers. Three additional bedrooms each with en-suite baths and a laundry room round out the upstairs. The club level is wonderfully appointed with a fifth bedroom suite, an additional office, an exercise room (exercise equipment conveys) and walk out recreation room with a third fireplace. The carriage house apartment is located across the breezeway and up a flight of stairs. Having its own garage bay, complete kitchen and laundry allows for independent multigenerational living.
