Lush landscaping… Read More sets the stage for this splendid brick home, enhanced by copper gutters and a uniquely beautiful Ludowici ceramic tile roof designed to stand the test of time. The private backyard is amazing with a saltwater pool and inviting outdoor spaces. Step inside to discover an interior that radiates refined elegance, from rich wood floors and original iron windows - characteristic of this Jacobean style home - to original wall sconces and glass door handles. A beautifully appointed wine cellar is a special highlight for collectors. Throughout the home, thoughtfully designed spaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere at every turn. The award-winning 2010 addition and renovation by Benchmark Construction, design by Cox/Evans, transformed the home with a magnificent great room, as well as a renovated kitchen and adjacent outside patio and landscaping. The great room highlights soaring vaulted ceilings with crisp white paneling and exposed beams, anchored by a gas fireplace with built-in cabinetry and space for media. The gourmet kitchen boasts stainless steel Thermador and Kitchen Aid professional appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop range, refrigerator and freezer drawers on the island, double wall ovens, microwave, and trash compactor along with a built-in Viking refrigerator. A conveniently located built-in pantry provides additional storage, while a bright breakfast room and a dry bar with beverage refrigerator and coffee station complete the space. The main level continues with a formal dining room featuring an original, large china closet and classic swinging door to the kitchen. A cozy library with built-in cabinetry for media connects seamlessly to the living spaces. The elegant living room impresses with a striking coffered ceiling and rich wood detailing, centered around a second charming fireplace accented by stone. Just beyond, a bright sunroom is framed by arched windows and French doors opening to a patio next to the pool. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite and attached bath with a Juliette balcony includes heated tile floors, dual vanities, a combination toilet/bidet, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Two additional upper-level bedrooms are well suited for family or guests, complemented by a nearby full bath and an adjacent staircase to the main level. The laundry room is easily accessible in this wing. The second floor also features two more bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two dedicated office spaces, offering flexibility for a variety of living needs. The basement offers a finished utility area with a BILCO door to the exterior, a laundry sink, workbench, and a chilled storage room for beverages. Additional unfinished rooms and a boiler room provide abundant storage options. Additional amenities include an AV system, hardwired for sound throughout the main living areas on the first floor. The system has two zones - one dedicated to the great room and another serving the remaining interior spaces and outdoor speakers on both patios. The home is equipped with a state-of-the-art Guardian security system, providing coverage for all doors into the home and all doors leading to the basement and second floor plus motion sensors on the first floor. For extra storage space, you will appreciate the third-floor attic. An irrigation system keeps the yard looking at its best. A two-car garage and driveway parking round out the home.
