Wonderful Sparkling Shingle Style on Quiet Lane
|
Magnificent open lawns and perennial gardens surround this beautiful home. Broad steps lead to the wraparound front verandah with a flagstone floor. Divided sidelights bracket the entrance door and the two-story center hall with a herringbone pattern floor has panelled wainscoting up the stairway and transom lights over the archways opening into the living room with a fireplace and the wainstcoted formal dining room - both have wonderful french doors to the verandah. A barrel-ceiling center hallway leads to the library with built-ins and views of the garden, the powder room, and the side entrance and mudroom adjoining the three-car garage. The heart of the house is the step-down family room with a fireplace and french doors to the delightful flagstone terrace with a curved sitting wall and direct access to the country kitchen with a large center island, professional-style appliances, a planning desk, a food pantry and a butler's pantry toward the dining room. The upstairs landing has a charming nook with a bay window, a window seat and bookcases - the perfect spot for afternoon sun. The master suite is enormous with beams in the cathedral ceiling, a library/sitting room with a fireplace, a double closet/dressing room and a luxurious bathroom with a barrel arched ceiling, a whirlpool bathtub and a generous steam shower with two shower heads. There are four large bedrooms, three bathrooms, a laundry room and back stairs. The lower level has glass doors outside from a second family room, a huge playroom with plenty of cabinetry, a full bathroom, and ample space for a wine cellar away from all sources of heat. Designed for easy living and entertaining, this generous home has exceptional deep moldings, gleaming Baldwin hardware, ideal room sizes, and it is beautifully decorated in inviting light colors, while the condition is sparkling.
