Inside, gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite custom millwork, refinished marble, oversized windows, architectural details, and custom window treatments create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The professionally landscaped grounds are a true retreat, featuring lush gardens along with mature pear and apple trees that enhance the property's idyllic setting. Elegant formal living and dining rooms provide inviting spaces for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with an oversized island, custom cabinetry, marble countertops, walk-in pantry, premium appliances, and an adjoining breakfast room. Three sets of French doors open directly to the pool, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Just beyond, the spacious family room offers a stunning stone fireplace, dry bar, and beautiful views of the backyard and pool. The private primary suite wing is nothing short of extraordinary, featuring a dramatic vaulted beamed ceiling, an impressive walk-in closet with center island, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, jetted tub, and separate shower. A handsome private office with custom built-ins and an adjoining exercise room with vaulted beamed ceiling and sliding doors to a secluded patio complete this exceptional retreat. A spacious laundry room, mudroom, and powder room add everyday convenience.

The finished lower-level features 9-foot ceilings, an expansive recreation room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a full bath, abundant storage, and a third laundry area. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the well-equipped barn featuring five stalls, a wash rack, tack room, hay loft, paddocks, and pastures.
