What's special
Easy lifestyle and one-floor living in this pristine home on .8 acre just steps from Tower Road beach. Open, flexible spaces and incredible outdoor views throughout. Nestled amongst mature landscaping in a park-like setting, this solidly built and renovated 5 BD/5.1 BA stone ranch with attached 2 car garage offers exceptional open floor plan in a tranquil setting. Soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light fills the expansive family room and features a fireplace and sweeping views of the lush backyard, bluestone terraces and pool. Adjacent to the family room is the kitchen, breakfast room and mudroom. Separate office/library with bar gives room to spread out and offers great flexible space. Generous-sized primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-like bath plus 3 additional en-suite bedrooms and laundry complete the bedroom wing. A 5th bedroom and bath at the opposite end of the house is great for guests or live-in. A finished lower level with lofty ceilings offers great rec space plus utility room, ample storage, a 2nd laundry and full bath. A truly special oasis and property in a highly desirable walk-to beach, lake, town and train location!
