Few homes have been built with this level of intention, and even fewer come to market. A dramatic two-story entry with a sweeping double sided staircase signals what lies ahead.. quality and intention. The entire first floor was redone in 2022 and 2023, with a stunning new kitchen, new wide plank walnut floors, all new lighting, a new walk-in pantry, new powder room and new first floor laundry room. The two-story great room anchors the main level with soaring ceilings and natural light. The kitchen, also fully redone in 2022, is a true showpiece, with a thick marble island, custom cabinetry, new walk in pantry, Wolf 6-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf double wall oven (which makes 3 ovens in the kitchen alone!), and two dishwashers. Upstairs are your six en-suite bedrooms, each with its own custom bath. A secluded study with a full bath on the main level doubles naturally as a first-floor primary. A formal sitting room, four-season sunroom, billiards room, and a pass through library each add their own distinct atmosphere. Laundry rooms on both levels, with the main level being completely with marble tile, a 6-zone HVAC system with three furnaces replaced in 2025, and a 2022 roof mean the bones are as solid as the finishes. Downstairs, the lower level is built for fun, two recreation areas with a secondary serving station and fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, plus a dedicated home theater. A second Sub-Zero and a full secondary kitchen setup in the heated garage make large-scale entertaining genuinely effortless for caterers to set up. Outside, the property earns its reputation.
