Nestled on a picturesque and private 1.84-acre lot, this stunning brick Georgian estate embodies timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. Thoughtfully maintained, the home boasts a newer DaVinci roof, gutters, and Hardie board siding, ensuring both beauty and durability. Step inside the grand two-story foyer, where a graceful, curved staircase serves as the heart of the home. This central space seamlessly connects the formal living and dining rooms, library, family room, and kitchen, all featuring rich hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, and soaring 9' ceilings. The sunken living room is a highlight, with a classic fireplace, custom built-ins, and a breathtaking picture window overlooking a serene side patio and lush grounds. The distinguished walnut-paneled library, complete with a fireplace and built-in bookcases, offers a cozy retreat. Adjacent to the library is a versatile office with a vaulted ceiling and a private front patio. A full bath next to the office offers the potential for a guest suite. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the family room showcases exposed beams, a brick fireplace, a wet bar, and three sets of sliding glass doors that open to an expansive bluestone patio. The chef's kitchen is a true delight, featuring abundant storage, an island, peninsula, breakfast area, and a well-appointed butler's pantry. A sliding glass door from the breakfast room leads to the bright, heated enclosed porch. The formal dining room, with charming corner cabinets, provides the perfect setting for grand dinner parties. A separate mudroom, laundry room, and second powder room add to the home's everyday convenience. Two staircases lead to the second level, where the luxurious Primary Suite offers a private sitting room, dual baths, and multiple walk-in closets. Three additional ensuite bedrooms, plus a spacious guest suite with its own sitting area, complete this level. A walk-up third-floor attic provides excellent storage and potential for future expansion. The finished lower level is designed for fun and functionality, featuring a recreation room, pool table area, craft room, and playroom. The three-car heated garage includes ample storage, cabinetry, and a utility sink. Breathtaking views of the estate's lush, manicured grounds can be enjoyed from nearly every room, while the sunroom and multiple outdoor spaces invite year-round enjoyment of the natural surroundings. This exceptional property is truly a rare find - don't miss your chance to call it home!
