Glorious stone walls border the front of this property. Handsome wooden gates open to the driveway which sweeps into the courtyard and a circle. Magnificent landscaping, open lawns and majestic trees give the feel of back country with a skating, canoeing and fishing lake and true privacy bordered by Land Trust, yet with the unique asset of walking to schools. A portico shelters the classic doorway opening into the generous center hall with a curving stairway, banded parquet floors with a lovely patina and a Palladian window. The step-down living room has a fireplace and a columned bow window to the spectacular lake view. The exciting art galleries or entertaining rooms include a step-down, two-story room with a beamed ceiling and a wall of windows to the lake, a family room or gallery with a wet bar and french doors to the terrace, a third room overlooking the center gallery and an office with a cathedral ceiling. The formal dining room with a fireplace and shell cabinets has french doors to the terrace and both it and the library with a fireplace and a coffered ceiling have entrancing lake views as does the charming casual dining room adjoining the country kitchen with a solarium, a butler's pantry and access to the three-car garage. The fabulous master suite has a cathedral ceiling and dazzling lake views - waking to be inspired by this every morning would be a delight - a huge studio, two dressing rooms and two bathrooms. There are five additional bedrooms, including a main-floor guest suite, a large playroom and back stairs, plus there is a luxurious theater, an exercise room, a sauna and a wine cellar downstairs. The beautifully sited heated pool and pool house adjoin the artfully hidden tennis court bordered by a waterfall. This house has a wonderful sense of happiness and delight which is immediately apparent, the close to town location is irreplaceable, and the museum-quality galleries are ideal for gracious entertaining.
