French, Manor

Presented is this custom estate property that combines the upscale lifestyle and amenities expected with the warmth and charm of a proud family home. Originally constructed in 2005 with a partially stucco exterior, ALL STUCCO has been removed and replaced with Hardiplank in 2019 in both a board-n-battan and clapboard style, giving the exterior a fresh, brand new, low-maintenance life. The home sits near the center of the property well below and partially secluded from the road, with ample fenced rear and side yards. The neighboring property wraps around to the back, with preserved land on the opposite side. The result is a classically bucolic setting to enjoy with under 3 acres to maintain. The resort-like grounds feature extensive land and hardscaping, Ipe decking, and black bottom salt-water pool with Travertine tile, that blending naturally into the surrounding rock and gardens. The home itself has immense architectural appeal on both the interior and exterior. Stepping into the two-story entry, you are greeted by warm hardwood floors and a grand curved front staircase. To the right is an executive study with gas fireplace and marble surround; to the left is the formal dining room with substantial millwork and moldings. Directly ahead is the dramatic great room with wall of windows overlooking the rear deck with treetop vistas, featuring a gas fireplace as an additional focal point. The kitchen is large and open with rich wood cabinetry, high-end chef's appliances, heated radiant tile floors, and turret style eating area that steps out onto the rear deck. The main-floor master suite features private balcony, dressing area with his/hers closets, and exquisite master bath with double sinks and vanities opposite each other. A conservatory off the master has a "zen" appeal with lots of windows letting the outside in. Two powder rooms, pantry, butler's pantry and main-floor laundry complete the first floor. The upstairs has an additional dedicated laundry room, three bedroom suites each with their own bath, and an oversized bonus room that is perfectly suitable as a media/game room, additional bedroom, office... or any one of a number of possibilities. Walk into the unfinished attic which provides even more space that could be finished or just used as abundant, easily-accessed storage. The rear staircase brings you back to the main level, and on to the partially-finished lower level with full bath that walks out to the Travertine patio and pool. From a practical standpoint, this house was gently used, mainly by two occupants, who updated/upgraded and replace the majority of mechanicals and appliances during their tenure. An automatic whole-house generator has also been installed in the event of a power outage. Truly a move-in ready property for discriminating buyers who appreciate quality and style, as well as owners who proudly maintain and update their home.
