About this home

This exceptional coastal-inspired estate, built in 2008 to the highest standards, offers a rare blend of luxury, comfort, and privacy on two beautifully landscaped acres with a serene natural pond. Designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining, the home showcases expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, including a wraparound porch, screened porch, and 40'x16' saltwater swimming pool-perfect for relaxing while taking in the tranquil surroundings. Inside, magnificent architectural details abound, including soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork, hardwood floors, a dramatic circular staircase, extensive custom built-ins, and six masonry fireplaces that add warmth, character, and timeless appeal. The gracious foyer is flanked by the formal living and dining rooms, while a stunning front-to-rear sightline draws you through to the spacious step-down family room with coffered ceiling, fireplace and built-in bookcases; it is an impressive introduction to the home's thoughtful design. A richly appointed library, featuring handsome pine paneling, a coffered ceiling, and fireplace, is tucked into a quiet corner with access to the rear grounds, offering a perfect retreat. At the heart of the home is an expertly designed chef's kitchen with tall custom cabinetry, granite countertops, premium appliances, a large center island, and an expansive walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a warm and inviting hearth room, creating an ideal eating area. A nearby beverage station and generous butler's pantry further enhance the home's exceptional entertaining capabilities. There are five spacious en-suite bedrooms, including four on the second level and one in the walk-out lower level, providing comfort and privacy for both family and guests. The primary suite is incredible! It has a luxurious bedroom with fireplace, a sitting room with balcony access, a massive walk-in closet, and a light-filled bathroom with dual vanities, heated floors (NuHeat), a freestanding jetted tub, and a deluxe marble shower with steam and multiple spray heads. The fully finished walk-out basement is an entertainer's dream, complete with a full bar, billiards room, two expansive recreation rooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a bedroom, and a second full kitchen-perfect for hosting on any scale. Additional highlights include a Creston lighting system, a well-appointed mudroom with an adjacent storage room, and an attached three-car garage. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable home, thoughtfully designed for comfortable living and unforgettable entertaining!
