This meticulously maintained home is nestled on a private and idyllic .87-acre lot, in a premiere location, close to town, train, and schools. Boasting 6 bedrooms and 8.1 baths, including first and second-floor primary suites, both equipped with dual en suite baths. Gracious room sizes, panoramic garden views from every window, a newly installed elevator, and exceptional additions including a light-drenched conservatory, make this home a singular opportunity for the most discerning buyer. The stately circular drive sets the tone for this magnificent home upon arrival. The grand foyer adorned with a handsome custom front door welcomes guests and the overall atmosphere of quality is evident. A new living room addition, seamlessly set off the foyer, offers a place to relax around the fireplace or enjoy views of the lush landscaping. The dining room with its opulent lacquered ceiling is well-placed next to the spacious eat-in kitchen. A recently added first-floor primary with dual en suite bath is situated just outside the sunroom where you can step right out to the stunning pool. A recently installed elevator adds convenience and accessibility to the thoughtful floor plan. The breathtaking conservatory overlooks the grounds with its many paths, water features, and showstopping rose garden. The second floor offers an expansive second primary suite with a dressing area, multiple closets, and dual en suite baths, complete with a sauna. Four additional well-sized family bedrooms, all with en suite baths and ample closet space, make it an ideal layout for both family and guests. The third floor is a bonus space for endless opportunities. The sizeable open room would make an ideal recreation room or additional storage space. Wander into the basement where there is room for all your hobbies; test your green thumb out in the greenhouse, curate your wine collection in the wine cellar, or get creative in the wood shop. A large laundry room provides an abundance of space and convenience next to the second staircase. The grounds are the true highlight of the home with no expense spared. Meander through the different walking paths and admire the lush landscaping that rivals the Botanic Gardens. Enjoy resort-like living by the pool surrounded by picturesque scenery and complete privacy, all with the convenience of a full outdoor bath, while being just steps from town.
