A brick ranch with soaring ceilings throughout and an impeccably finished English lower level, this one-of-a-kind home is made for today's lifestyle with both a completely open floor plan and also tucked away spaces for quiet retreats. The light-filled interior boasts walls of windows, vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling fireplaces, hardwood floors throughout, beautiful architectural details and custom moldings. Tranquility and natural light permeate each and every room. Upon entering the cavernous vaulted foyer, enjoy views of the backyard, primary suite wing, and formal dining room.

The kitchen has been immaculately re-imagined and completely rebuilt with custom cabinetry, wet bar, large island peninsula with seating for five, farmhouse apron sink, additional eating space, and SubZero, Thermador, Wolf and Bosch appliances. With views of the backyard and family room, this chef's kitchen is truly the heart of the home. The main floor primary suite is truly a sanctuary with fabulous views and a spa-like bathroom including soaking tub and separate shower, double sinks, high-end finishes and heated floors. The second bedroom can also serve as an office and has its own full bath. A light bathed laundry and Mudroom with garage access complete the first floor. The English walkout lower level features 10'+ ceilings and is another completely finished living space with three large bedrooms, two full baths, recreation room with fireplace, second kitchen, media room and exercise room. This living space offers the same level of finishes as the main floor and there are several French doors that open to the backyard. Set on almost two professionally landscaped acres, the deck and gazebo are wonderful for enjoying the spectacular views of the yard and pond with southern exposure. Enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and everyday life in this move in ready home!
