Recently Built with Fabulous Scale on Quiet Mid-Country Lane
|
A superb dry stone wall with curving pillars borders the entrance. Belgian block lines the driveway to the entrance courtyard as well as the second driveway to the rear parking court. A columned portico shelters the mahogany front door with divided sidelights and transom. Rising two stories to a dramatic coffered ceiling, the spectacular center hall with a marble floor and panelled walls has a magnificent flying spiral stairway up to a long balcony and one of three powder rooms. Graceful archways open to the classic living room with a fireplace, two exposures, panelled wainscoting and banded oak floors, plus an adjoining wet bar is in a hall leading to the handsome mahogany panelled library with a fireplace, wide-board mahogany floors and french doors to the terrace. The formal dining room with a fireplace has a beautiful coffered ceiling, banded herringbone floors, panelled wainscoting and french doors to the terrace. The heart-of-the-house is the wonderful family room/country kitchen with a fireplace in the sitting area separated from the casual dining area by columns, handsome raised panelled cabinetry, a large teak center island, a butler's pantry or bar, an adjoinning homework room or office, and access to the mudroom at the side door as well as to the three-car garage. Upstairs is the luxurious master suite in a wing with a fireplace in the bedroom, a sitting room, two fabulous bathrooms (one has a whirlpool tub) with steam showers and an enormous double dressing room. There are five additional en suite bedrooms, a sitting room, a back stairway downstairs, and stairs to a vast third-floor playroom with a powder room. The lower level with a fireplace and a glass door outside is a huge space for many future needs, such as home theater, gym, wine cellar, etc. Sparkling is the word to describe the condition of this move-in house of over 13,000 square feet.
