The impact of the classical architecture is a delight. The detailing is all done in brick and the gables with windows give all aspects of this home great interest. A broad flagstone walk leads to the inviting front door with a charming leaded window in the center. The main center hall has a traditional stairway with long windows to give it light and wide-board oak floors which continue throughout the main floor. The grand living room with a fireplace has three exposures, and the formal dining room is step-down with views of the front and of the back of the property; both of these rooms have french doors with side glass panels leading to the beautiful terrace. The library with a fireplace has a vaulted, beamed wood ceiling and east, south and west exposures. The family room with a wet bar is off the center hall, and there is a full bathroom to allow this to be a ground-floor bedroom as well. A classic butler's pantry and a breakfast area open to the cheerful kitchen while a back hall goes to the original chauffeur's bedroom with a bath and to the attached two-car garage (plus there is an additional detached two-car garage). Upstairs is a lovely master bedroom with a fireplace, three exposures, french doors to a balcony, nice closets, including a hidden shoe closet, and a bathroom with a separate bathtub and a shower stall. There are four additional bedrooms and three bathrooms (one of these bedrooms has arched french doors to a second balcony, and two of the bedrooms access the back stairs). A spectacular large curved terrace is designed for outdoor living and entertaining with views over the tranquil lake surrounded by rhododendron. This area is very sought after with its proximity to town and schools, yet it is quiet and serene. Exceptional houses surround this very wonderful piece of architecture with its polished patina, which fits so perfectly into its site.
