This spectacular period home has been gut renovated and lovingly and thoughtfully restored to its original glory with details that simply cannot be found in newer homes. Every decision in the dramatic transformation focused on creating enhanced functionality and improved aesthetics with carefully selected high-end materials. Throughout the home, NO expense was spared and you must see to truly appreciate the absolutely STUNNING results! The heart of the home is the Kitchen boasting exceptional features such as 5/4 inset cabinetry, 2" thick Calacatta Marble island, Wolf, Miele, and Sub Zero appliances. Escape from it all in the Primary Suite - you won’t want to leave the most decadent bathroom, private home office, sitting room, romantic gas fireplace, & very generous His/Her walk-in closets! A "House & Gardens" walking tour is available to enjoy the water features, hydrangea Project, and the 100-year-old beech tree. An intentional effort to maximize all aspects of this special property led to the decision to start from scratch and create a stunning, new Hamptons-style heated Gunite pool, blue stone patio, complete with drainage, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The Pool Wing design w/ full bath, 2nd laundry & bonus bedroom is perfect for guests. This unique property offers an idyllic living experience on a quiet cul-de-sac and is nothing short of breathtaking!
