This charming contemporary home pays homage to stately Swiss chalets with distinctive features and masterful craftmanship inside. Lofty 9-foot ceilings, wide doorways and spectacular cathedral ceilings with wide whitewashed planks in the den, great room and master bedroom provide a spacious feel. The den and formal dining rooms are cozy and upscale. The kitchen has granite countertops, an island with five-burner Wolf gas cooktop, large pantry and breakfast bar peninsula. The eat-in area has a wall of windows and a doorway to the large, covered deck. The kitchen flows into the great room, where the showstopper is the striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a prominent mantel and is flanked by custom built-ins. Sliding glass doors provide access to the covered deck and fieldstone patio and give a breathtaking view of the back yard, defined by a stone wall and wrought iron fence. The first-floor master suite is a spacious retreat with spa-like bath, generous walk-in closet, and private doorway to the deck. A powder room and laundry room round out the first floor. Upstairs is a second suite with an extra room that offers numerous possibilities. Two other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. The catwalk overlooks the great room and view of the back yard. The finished basement has a custom bar and several entertainment areas. Mechanicals include a Generac 20kw generator. Designed with a multigenerational appeal, this distinctive home can serve several audiences.
