Handsome white gates open to the winding driveway lined by Belgian block. The exterior is highlighted by lovely limestone detailing and quoins. The entrance courtyard has a large stone medallion and broad stone steps lead to the handsome mahogany door with interesting divided sidelights and a classic fanlight. The broad center hall has grand scale, spectacular low riser stairways with continuous railings rising three stories, wonderful light from a hidden skylight and one of several elegant powder rooms. The marvelous formal living room with a fireplace has two exposures, as does the generous panelled library with a fireplace, bookcases and french doors to the wide terrace with an electric awning overlooking the gardens. The formal dining room with a fireplace has three exposures of french doors to the main terrace and the large family room with a fireplace opens into the fabulous country kitchen with a huge island with stools, a large area for an informal table, top of the line appliances, white panelled cabinetry, a wet bar, and french doors to the dining terrace, again with an electric awning overlooking the dramatic pool area. There is a mudroom and access to the three car garage. Upstairs is a superb private master suite with a fireplace, two exposures, two dressing rooms (one is panelled in mahogany) and two luxurious bathrooms with steam showers plus one has a bathtub. There are five additional bedrooms, six sparkling bathrooms, an upstairs family room, two studies and a hidden roof top balcony. The lower level has an amazing complex of a large family room with a high ceiling and french doors outside toward the pool, a bar, a bathroom, and a huge exercise room. Built to amazing standards in 2000 and renovated in 2010, this superb home has wide board floors, high ceilings, wonderful scale mahogany windows, intricate crown moldings and detailing, mahogany doors on principal rooms, and a true feeling of quality and solidity. The freshly done decorating is a treat and the condition is totally impeccable.
