The home features a spacious 4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bathroom MAIN House PLUS Downstairs 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath Guest Room arrangement (with separate entrance), and 3 Car Garage (ideal for multi-generational households). The home was designed for gracious living and effortless entertaining! Situated on an expansive lot, this architecturally distinctive home, designed by Donald Krotee, offers an impressive combination of timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and exceptional privacy. A grand foyer with circular staircase creates a dramatic first impression. Beyond the entry, spacious open-concept living areas are enhanced by beautiful French doors and windows, specialty lighting, and a warm wood-burning fireplace. The stunning gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring elegant honed marble surfaces, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, two whisper-quiet Miele dishwashers, extensive cabinetry, and an oversized walk-in pantry. A separate butler's pantry with generous buffet space makes hosting everything from intimate gatherings to large celebrations a pleasure. The beautifully appointed wet bar, complete with illuminated display cabinetry, adds another sophisticated touch to the home's exceptional entertaining spaces. A separate guest suite with its own entrance and private deck provides exceptional flexibility and privacy for visitors. An oversized second-floor laundry room with skylight adds everyday convenience.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
