Exceptional in so many ways, from the size of the private lot to the untouched
woodwork, this Western Section Tudor transports you to another time and place. Much
care and effort went into the modernization of every level and the result is a home that's
as dependable and practical as they come, yet feels like a storybook romance set in the
English countryside. Hand-finished plaster walls and custom-replicated built-ins conceal
updated electric, plumbing and heating, plus security and sound systems, while a
whole-house generator ensures comfort is never in question. Without these worries, you
are free to revel in the splendor of the hand-hewn ceiling beams, paneled oak doors and
rose garden views through metal casement windows. The award-winning kitchen by
Spyglass Design features a soapstone sink with polished nickel Perrin & Rowe fixtures.
A double Thermador range supports chef-level cooking amid the inviting warmth of a
prairie stove. Tile from Paris Ceramics tops a reinforced floor that flows into an
indispensable mudroom. A bar is centrally located to serve the large family room, where
a TV is hidden over the fireplace, as well as the rebuilt stone terrace, with an impressive
fireplace of its own. Even the finished basement is ready for entertaining with a
temp-controlled wine room and yet another fireplace. In addition to 5 bedrooms, a
collection of upper level private spaces include a sunny third floor hideaway, an office
lined with built-ins and a lounge with a stunning cathedral ceiling above a stained glass
window. Radiant heat, a steam shower and an infinity tub are some of the perks found
in 4 renovated bathrooms. Finely detailed furniture-quality storage by Raynor
Woodworking supplements a walk-in closet in the main suite, where views are magical
from a Juliet balcony and a sun-soaked bay. To fully appreciate the size of the lot, a
complete walk of the property is a must. You'll discover tiered lawns culminating in a
shaded water feature, plus the perfect spot for any additional recreational amenities
behind the 3-bay garage.
