This five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath with a 3 car garage, English cottage-inspired estate, built in 1991, is a breathtaking blend of traditional, understated charm and modern design and conveniences for the ultimate experience in luxury indoor and outdoor living. As the front door opens - either to the full, warm light of the day or the sparkling chandelier above - the expansive tiled foyer and rich wood tones envelop you in a feeling of welcome with affection. These natural wood accents in the moldings, doors, and the stairs make a gracious first impression to this entryway. To the right of the foyer, a stately formal sitting room resides behind a pair of beautiful wood doors. Large, front-facing windows pull in the light to make this space multi-functional on days when you are not entertaining and could comfortably function as an office. Left of the foyer is an intimate yet refined dining room with handsome wood floors and trim. Beyond the foyer and to the right is the first of two entrances to the massive sunken living room. Three windows embrace this room with natural light without marring the design possibilities. Following the tiled hall past the living room, you come to the heart of the home - the family room. With an impressive brick fireplace and the stunning exposed beams of a historic English country estate, this room brings the atmosphere of a grand lodge, where friends and relatives can relax and recoup. This breathtaking room also has a convenient wet bar open from the hallway to serve guests without making too many trips to the kitchen. The same warm wood tones leap to the foreground in the matching cabinetry and stove hood. The floor to ceiling arched windows of the attached breakfast nook flood the area with sunshine on even the cloudiest of days. A laundry room and the generous garage space are accessible by the doors off the kitchen as well as access to the outdoor living space. Should a man-cave, game room, or home theater be desired, the full basement can accommodate any or all of these while keeping ample storage, a guest room, and a full bathroom below stairs. Upstairs, three large bedrooms - each with unique touches - surround the staircase open to the foyer below. One of the bedrooms accesses a large sitting room capable of being a nursery or play area for children. The piece de resistance of the upper floor, however, is the vast master suite. This opulent space has a private balcony, bay windows, and two walk-in closets. The decadent jetted tub with its marble surround is worthy of royalty. The windows of the master suite and balcony offer exquisite lake views, perfect for having breakfast al fresco or in bed. From the extensive lawns and landscaping to be admired and played upon to the enormous deck with views of the private late stretching from your backyard, our outside time is your own.
