Milbrook Private Association on a Gentle Hill
|
Stone pillars bracket the entrance to the Belgian blocked lined driveway. Unusual for this area, there are open lawns rising gently to the high setting with lovely gardens. A columned portico shelters the front door with divided sidelights and an overlight. The center hall with its handsome stairway and a new powder room opens to the front-to-back living room with a fireplace, a bay window and a wall of built-in bookcases with subtle arched detailing. The nicely-proportioned formal dining room has a sunny bay window and glass-fronted corner cabinets. The step-down family room with a fireplace has a coffered ceiling, rich wood cabinetry and detailing and three exposures, including french doors to the expansive terrace with a charming lion's head fountain and a wonderful outdoor fire pit to take the chill off cooler evenings. The country kitchen has a nice sitting area, a breakfast area open-ing to the terrace, a center island and a large skylight over the working area with windows to the garden. Upstairs is a new master suite with a sitting room or study, a front-to-back bedroom, a dressing area and a luxurious bathroom with an Ultra bathtub and a steam shower. There are three additional bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a wonderful mid-level family room with a vaulted ceiling with beams, three exposures, built-in cabinetry and access to the back stairs and the kitchen - this also could be a fifth bedroom. The lower level has a generous panelled family room with a wet bar and a large basement room ideal for a ping pong table. Located on a traffic-free cul-de-sac of beautiful homes, this sparkling, move-in condition home is ideal, with walking and bicycling on the scenic lanes of Milbrook, the Milbrook Golf Club a short distance away, and its close proximity to town and schools.
