Belgian block lines the driveway leading to the front courtyard. A second hidden courtyard has a lovely pattern in Belgian block set in the gravel and more of the exceptional landscaping for which this house is known. An inviting columned portico with a handsome pediment shelters the front door with an arched fanlight and divided sidelights. The entrance hall has a graceful arched ceiling and lighted display cases on either side with elegant detailing and the stairway rises to the second floor, flooded with light from a skylight. The living room with a fireplace has a wonderful high ceiling and a deep window bay facing south. The dining room with built-in cabinetry has french doors to the charming patio surrounded by beautiful planting, and a wide archway opens to the country kitchen with an inviting eating area in a wide bay window with a window seat. There are white cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, a bar area, a south window and a door to the mudroom/laundry room with access to the driveway and to the terrace. The family room with a fireplace and a southern exposure has built-in cabinetry, a flat screen television and surround sound. The ground-floor master suite has a fireplace with an antique marble mantelpiece, a high ceiling, beveled glass windows, french doors opening to the garden, a double dressing room and a wonderful bathroom with a cathedral ceiling, a luxurious bathtub and a shower stall. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, plus an office or single bedroom. The fourth bedroom and bathroom are a separate hideaway in the carriage house above the two-car garage with a dog washing sink. This is the ideal scale-down home or condominium alternative with one-floor living for the owners, beautiful grounds ideal for playing or for dogs, plus three or four bedrooms, and the fresh decoration by a noted decorator is lovely and inviting.
