Handsome Colonial in Mid-Country
|
Belgian block lines the circular driveway and the courtyard. A columned por-tico shelters the handsome doorway bracketed by leaded glass sidelights. A gleaming brass doorknob and door saddle greets, and the polished brick entry hall with a powder room opens to the center hall with its stairway and a lovely view of the lake straight ahead - a wonderful vista. The gracious living room has three exposures and an elegant fireplace with carved detailing and classic half columns. French doors open to the garden room with views of the lake, a brick floor, a wet bar and walls of windows to draw in the sunshine, plus it is shaded in summer by a romantic pergola. The richly panelled library with a fireplace has the same wide-board floors as the cen-ter hall, and the formal dining room, again with the lake view, has lighted corner cabi-nets. The sun-filled kitchen with a breakfast area and a pantry has views towards the lake. Adjoining the kitchen is the warm and inviting step-down family room with antique barn siding, a fireplace wall of stone, a raised and beamed ceiling, a heated brick floor, a wet bar, walls of glass to the outside with flagstone terraces, low brick sitting walls and mature trees, and level, open lawns lead to the lake. A ground-floor bedroom and bath has many uses and the mudroom has terrific storage plus there is garaging for three cars with addi-tional storage and the potential to build a large guesthouse. Upstairs, the sunny master suite has a fireplace, a delightful step-down sitting room, huge closets and a bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub and a shower stall. There are four additional bedrooms, three bathrooms, a skylit laun-dry room and a back stairway. Decorated to a wonderful standard, this polished and well maintained classic has lovely room proportions, beautiful landscaping and captivating views. Please call for details.
