Handsome lighted gateposts and iron gates are at the entrance. Belgian block lines the circular courtyard with a stone center medallion. The brickwork is memorable with subtle courses surrounding herringbone detailing and the roof is slate. The center hall with a coffered ceiling has herringbone quarter-sawn oak floors and the substantial stairway rises to a landing with a long south-facing window to a balcony sitting area plus there is an elevator. The living room with a fireplace has a tracery ceiling and two exposures including french doors to the verandah with gracious archways. The formal dining room with a fireplace has a beamed ceiling and panelling, while the library with a fireplace has rich mahogany panelling, two exposures and it connects to the living room with a charming sitting room with a bay window and a generous wet bar. The family room is spectacular rising two stories with a fireplace, a beamed ceiling with cross bracing, a balcony from upstairs, and arched windows and french doors to a terrace. This adjoins the fabulous kitchen with a window bay in the eating area, a large center island with places for stools, a pantry, an adjoining computer or homework room and a ground-floor en suite bedroom. Upstairs is the master suit with a fireplace, a high coffered ceiling, three exposures including a balcony to the garden, a sitting room with a window bay, two dressing room/closets and a luxurious bathroom with an Ultra bathtub and a steam shower. There are four additional bedrooms with Waterworks bathrooms, a huge third floor playroom with a balcony and two laundries. The lower level has a family room, a game room, an exercise room, a bathroom for a future pool, and there are three garages. The level of detail is a delight, the quality is memorable and the total package is wonderful in every way.
