Wonderful Private Association Close to Town
|
Belgian block lines the circular driveway leading to the entrance. Beautiful bullet glass highlights the front door opening to the skylit vestibule which opens to the center hall with its circular stairway. The generous step-down living room has a fireplace and exposures on three sides. The banquet-sized dining room has a sitting bay window and french doors to the expansive terrace. A walk-in bay window brings wonderful light to the library with handsome wood bookcases and built-in cabinetry - it also adjoins the country kitchen with handcrafted cabinetry created by a team of French artisans, a pantry with the same woodwork and a skylit cathedral ceiling in the eating and family room area with lovely views, plus the second family room has three exposures. The mudroom opens to the two-car garage and there are two additional garages in the cottage. The master bedroom is a charming room with a carved fireplace mantel, a window bay in one of three exposures, a glass door to a balcony and a renovated marble bathroom with a skylight. There are three additional bedrooms with two renovated bathrooms (one with a whirlpool bathtub) and there is an upstairs family room (or fifth bedroom) with two bay windows plus a laundry room. A wonderful extra is the picturesque cottage which is quite separate with its own driveway - the cottage has a cathedral ceiling living room with a loft space, an eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom - the rental pays for the taxes and the maintenance on the entire property! The grounds are lovely with a heated pool, established gardens, tall hedges, majestic trees and a vista across the sweeping lawns with great privacy. This sought after enclave is a super easy location with walking and bicycling right from the front door, town sewer and gas utilities, and a sense of country while being only minutes from town, the library and schools.
