Showcasing an elegant blend of four-sided brick, hand-selected natural stone, and an architectural shingled roof, the residence is thoughtfully designed with timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and refined modern finishes throughout. A grand covered entry with designer tile flooring welcomes you into a breathtaking two-story foyer where soaring ceilings, dramatic architectural detailing, and expansive windows flood the home with natural light. Wide-plank European oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living spaces, complemented by curated designer lighting, extensive millwork, and elevated finishes that create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The magnificent two-story great room is anchored by a striking Venetian plaster fireplace, creating an impressive space. Adjacent, the oversized formal dining room is perfectly suited for hosting memorable gatherings.

A fully equipped second kitchen with professional grade appliances provides exceptional functionality for entertaining, catering, and everyday convenience while maintaining the elegance of the primary kitchen. Privately located on the main level, the owner's retreat is a luxurious sanctuary complete with its own fireplace and tranquil views of the estate grounds.

Four additional bedroom suites provide exceptional accommodations, each featuring spacious custom closets and beautifully appointed fully tiled en-suite bathrooms, including a second luxurious primary suite ideal for multigenerational living or long-term guests. A dedicated upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience. Luxury appointments continue throughout with integrated smart home technology, tankless water heaters, premium designer fixtures, custom cabinetry, and thoughtfully curated finishes. Completing the home is a nearly 3,000-square-foot daylight terrace level, already framed by exceptional ceiling heights and ready to be transformed into the Buyer's vision. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the covered rear terrace features a built-in grilling area overlooking the expansive estate grounds. The fully fenced, private homesite is pool-ready and offers the perfect canvas for creating a spectacular resort-style outdoor retreat with a custom pool, spa, cabana, and beautifully landscaped entertaining spaces.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
