Don't miss 2017 Dryden - a special home that has been thoughtfully reimagined and perfected.
This home strikes that rare balance between architectural presence and everyday livability. From the dramatic, light-filled stair hall to the seamless flow between kitchen, sunroom, and gathering spaces, every room feels intentional and connected
Some homes greet you politely. This one extends a hand, takes your coat, and tells you you're exactly where you are meant to be.
From the moment you step inside, it's clear 2017 Dryden understands drama - the good kind. It's polished without trying too hard. Grand without being overwhelming. Playful without losing sophistication.
The Formal Living Room
The tall windows draw in natural light that shifts throughout the day, animating the paneled walls and casting subtle shadows that change by the hour. The fireplace anchors the room with classic charm, while the millwork adds diminsion and rythem.
The Formal Dining Room
Tailored wall paneling wraps the space and natural light streams in through the tall glass doors. During the day, the room feels open and airy, connected seamlessly to the outdoor and beyond. At night, it takes on a more intimate mood - walls glowing softly, hardwoods deepening in tone, the entire space settling into a confident calm.
The Powder Room
Moody, tailored, and unapologetically grown-up, this bar feels like it belongs in a private club - only better, because it's yours! Custom cabinetry wrapped in richly stained wood and grounded by saturated cabinetry, the entire space leans into depth and contrast.
The Kitchen
If the heart of the home had a personality test, this kitchen would check every box: classic, confident, and just a little bit competitive about its cooking skills.
Wrapped in crips white custom cabinetry that stretches confidently to the ceiling, the space feels tailored from every angle. Clean-lined aneling gives it structure, wile the soft sheen of marble countertops keeps things feeling light and bright.
The Breakfast Room
Just beyond, the breakfast room steps in as the kitchen's charming co-star. It's intimate but open, connected yet distinct.
The Family Room
Originally added by the current owner, this family room - part sun room, part sanctuary - feels less like an addition and more like a revelation. The ceiling soars overhead in a graceful vault lined in crisp paneling and the walls of glass invite the outdoors in with zero hesitation. Even on a cloudy day, the room feels bright and buoyant.
The stairway doesn't simply connect levels - it stages an experience. Wrapped in a graceful curve and framed by soaring walls of glass, it turns a daily routine into something theatrical.
The Primary Bedroom
Set apart like its own private wing, this retreat understands the assignment: space, symmetry, and a sense of calm that starts the moment you cross the threshold.
Natural light slips in through multiple windows, casting that soft, golden glow that makes mornings feel a little less aggressive and evenings a little more indulgent.
The Primary Bathroom
The primary bathroom unfolds like a private spa corridor. Dual vanities keep the peace. Marble floors run underfoot with quiet elegance. A soaking tub sits centered and confident, framed by tall windows that invite in filtered daylight without sacraficing privacy.
Bedroom Two
Secondary Bathroom
Bedroom Three
The Laundry Room
Step outside and the experience continues: a sculptural pool, covered entertaining terrace, lush turf, and a courtyard-style layout that makes indoor-outdoor living feel effortless.
The covered patio becomes command central- shaded, comfortable, and designed for gathering.
The architecture wraps around the yard in a way that feels intentional and intimate - almost courtyard-like - creating a private retreat that lives beautifully off the main house.
Then there's the turf - lush, tailored, and perpetually green. It offers softness without maintenance, making the entire yard feel polished year-round.
What makes this backyard special isn't the pool or the pergola or the perfectly proportioned patio. It's the flow. The way every door opens outward. The way the house embraces the water. The way each zone transitions seamlessly into the next.
