Tucked away on one of the most coveted streets in town, this refined dwelling has been masterfully developed with both family living and festive entertaining in mind.

The image of curb appeal on a quiet neighborhood drive, the home is introduced by its neatly manicured gardens and graceful European-influenced façade.  The interior features generous proportions, a fluid floorplan and meticulous attention to every immaculate detail.  Enter the foyer to discover the fine design elements that run throughout -- high ceilings, beautiful millwork, broad picture windows and stone finishes. The formal entry transitions to a sophisticated dining room and executive office, then on to the breathtaking great room, a compelling gathering space gazing out to the trellis-covered patio and lush gardens just beyond.

The light and airy gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, with ample casual dining space, French door rear yard passage, a secretary’s desk, practical mudroom and powder room effortlessly accommodating the activity of a busy family.  A delightful children’s play/media room and adjoining half bath, a restful guest bedroom and a stylish full bath round out the main level floorplan.

The private bedroom quarters are located up the traditional staircase.  Comprised of a lavish master suite, two charming children’s rooms and a sparkling hall bath, the upper level is flooded with light and surrounded by pleasant garden views below.
