Description

Enchanting. Private. Exceptionally maintained. Situated on 1.4 acres on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this traditional-style brick manor offers grand-scale interiors spanning over 6,900 square feet, a finished lower level for recreation and entertaining, and a well-executed set of recent improvements, featuring a DaVinci tile roof. The sweeping grounds showcase a manicured lawn, mature trees for privacy, and a stone patio that flows from the main living spaces for an effortless indoor-outdoor experience. Beyond the brick facade, classic architectural details set an elegant tone for the interiors: arched windows, wainscoting, hardwood floors throughout the main level, stone accents, and bespoke wood craftsmanship. The double-door entry opens to a foyer appointed with a dramatic curved staircase and soaring double-height ceilings. A long gallery connects the formal living and dining rooms. The expansive family room features cathedral ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, wet bar, and panoramic views of the lush backyard. The kitchen is a masterclass in form and function-with a generous island for counter seating, Sub-Zero refrigerator, new countertops and backsplash, updated hardware, and newer appliances throughout. A wood-paneled library with fireplace and built-ins serves as an ideal home office. Yet what sets this home truly apart is its highly functional, multi-purpose layout, which includes a first-floor bedroom and full bath, perfect for in-laws or guests, plus a sun room, mudroom, powder room, and dedicated laundry room. Upstairs, a luxurious primary suite sits behind double doors and features its own fireplace, sunlit sitting area, walk-in closet, and a spacious bath with soaking tub and dual vanities-ready for the next owner's personal touch. Three additional bedrooms-each with ensuite baths-and a loft-style homework or lounge area complete the second level. The finished lower level has been freshly recarpeted and painted, offering generous recreation space, new windows for natural light, a powder bath, and ample storage. Additional highlights include a whole-house generator, four-zone HVAC, and a 3-car garage with extra storage. A paver driveway offers additional space for parking. A rare opportunity to own a home of this scale and privacy, with the flexibility to personalize in a prestigious, established setting.
