Take in the peace and tranquility of country living in this French-inspired brick home. Situated on almost four level acres, the scenic property has profuse plantings, tall trees, a small pond and mature woods along its rear boundary. This well-maintained home shows pride of ownership as well as originality. Designed with comfort in mind, its layout is warm and welcoming. Originally a builder's own home, it was constructed using three layers of plaster over wire lath construction. In 2004, noted local architect Ed O'Brien was engaged by the current owners to expand the space. At that time the windows were replaced and mechanical systems were updated. Interior details include custom cabinetry in the billiards room, hardwood floors, solid wood doors, crown moldings and light-filled spaces. A good balance of formal and informal rooms serve a variety of interests and occasions. Enjoy summer days poolside from a screened porch adjoining an expansive tiered paver patio. The stone floor and wainscotted ceiling add distinction and personality to this three-season room. The plaster pool is elegantly enclosed by ornamental fencing which protects the garden beds. Entertain a crowd or enjoy quiet moments in this peaceful setting. The thoughtfully-placed full bath/changing room accessed from the patio is another convenient feature. Introducing the home is a foyer with picture frame detailing and embellishments. A beautiful step-down garden room with ceramic tile flooring is topped by a dimensional coffered ceiling. It adjoins a family room centered by a wood-burning stone fireplace. This level continues with a home office, billiards room with built-ins, airy sun room and formal dining room with raised wood panels below chair railing. Design elements in the kitchen include a gas fireplace, maple cabinetry and granite countertops. Leading from the kitchen is a mud room with closet, a transitional space connecting to the attached garage. Upstairs, five bedrooms, three full baths, a laundry room and plentiful closets easily accommodate family and guests. The expansive master suite offers an en suite master bath while an additional bedroom is also en suite. In 2004, extra recreational space was created in the finished basement with a full bath. A three-car attached garage and enormous paved parking court complete this exceptional home.
