In the two-story entry, meticulous trim accents openings to the formal living and dining rooms. In the conservatory, a wall of gloriously arched windows, new wood floors and boxed beams create a stylish, versatile space. Hardwood floors extend into the two-story family room, where windows flank the fireplace and frame verdant views of preserved woodlands leading straight to Stony Brook. New top-notch stainless steel appliances, and white cabinetry topped with granite, create a kitchen that's as functional as it is appealing. A study with bay window, powder room, laundry and mudroom off the garage complete the main level. Extensive moldings and built-ins continue upstairs, where the master retreat meets every need with a separate study, dressing area, abundant closet space, and a bath with dual shower and raised spa tub. Four more bedrooms, each one spacious with custom closets, plus three baths, complete the home.
