Description

The moment you enter through the wooden entry gates, you are reminded of an English country estate: long winding/rolling driveway, flanked on either side with white clumped birch trees and thousands of daffodils which lead to open fields and manicured grounds ending in a circular drive. This is BIRCHLEIGH, a fourteen-room home sited on 14.3 private waterfront acres with a stately presence overlooking the rich grounds to the front and the lush waterfront setting in the back. No detail has been overlooked...The moment you enter through the wooden entry gates, you are reminded of an English country estate: long winding/rolling driveway, flanked on either side with white clumped birch trees and thousands of daffodils which lead to open fields and manicured grounds ending in a circular drive. This is BIRCHLEIGH, a fourteen-room home sited on 14.3 private waterfront acres with a stately presence overlooking the rich grounds to the front and the lush waterfront setting in the back. No detail has been overlooked or spared in this fastidiously maintained home: hand carved fireplace mantles, crown molding, to its epicurean-inspired, award-winning custom island kitchen and family area with coffered ceilings and radiant heated floors. The formal living and dining rooms are perfect for entertaining. A first-floor riverfront bedroom with full en-suite tiled bathroom. The master bedroom suite overlooks both the formal gardens and the river: screened porch, two walk-in closets, a bathroom with Carrera marble, steam shower and radiant heated floors. Additionally, there is a cathedral-ceilinged library/office with its own fireplace off the master. With an infinity-edge pool overlooking a private pond with water fountain, private walking trails, several brick patio areas for outdoor entertaining, outdoor hot/cold shower, kennel accessed by a three-bay heated car garage, there is no reason for ever leaving this nature lover's paradise...and the popcorn machine is ready in the home theater.
