A wide driveway approaches the attached two-car garage, a significant addition which includes thoughtful built-ins and an aluminum gate to the rear lawn, easing the transition between indoor and outdoor. Beneath the covered front patio, natural stone, reclaimed wood, and custom steel brackets are complemented by cozy gas lanterns from Valley Forge. The entry foyer serves as a dignified introduction to the open floor plan, showcasing an RH chandelier and 5-inch quarter sawn hardwood floors throughout main level. Flanking the foyer are a private office with custom built-ins and a banquet-sized dining room featuring a stacked stone feature wall and RH chandelier. A striking cathedral ceiling with exposed, reclaimed wooden beams spans above the main living room, augmented by a roaring floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. The theme is mirrored in the chef’s kitchen, also featuring a reclaimed wooden ceiling, custom birch cabinetry, and bone natural limestone flooring. Custom finishes abound, such as the inset cooktop, imported Italian leathered marble countertops, hammered brass apron sink, and a complete suite of Thermador and SubZero appliances. An adjacent breakfast area is flooded with natural light and offers direct outdoor access. An elaborate mudroom and laundry room area accesses the garage.

Stairs descend to a sunken lounge area and the heated saltwater pool with automatic cover and remote-controlled fountains. Mature landscaping surrounds the fully fenced in yard for total privacy.
