As you walk along the handsome paver sidewalk, past the professional landscaping, and through the front door of this stately 4BR/5.1BA colonial, you'll appreciate the owners' impeccable taste, their high standards, and the level of care they took in designing their home's every detail. Note the little touches like the gorgeous crown molding, robust chair rails, and elegant wainscoting that greet you in the breathtaking two-story entry hall and wrap along the dramatic butterfly staircase, living room, and dining room with tray ceiling. Adjacent to the living room you'll find a sunken great room that runs the entire depth of the house and can be easily converted to a first-floor master bedroom with en suite. Continue past the home office/study with beautiful built-in book cases to the welcoming two-story family room with gas fireplace. From there, head into the oversized gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, 42" cabinets, high-end GE Profile and Monogram stainless steel appliances (including double trivection wall ovens), and a bright morning room that opens to an enormous composite deck overlooking a picturesque half-acre yard that backs to 70 acres of pristine farmland. The main floor also features a powder room, a laundry room, and access to the turned three-car garage. The second floor features a balcony overlooking the foyer and family room with easy access to the kitchen via a back staircase. Lose yourself in the master suite with tray ceiling; triple-sided gas fireplace; his and hers walk-in closets plus bonus closet; large dressing/vanity area; and spacious master bathroom with upgraded cabinets, double sink, jacuzzi garden tub, and tiled shower stall. Head past the guest bedroom with walk-in closet and private bathroom to the two remaining bedrooms that feature office suites, walk-in closets, bonus closets, and private bathrooms! Just when you think you've seen all a house could possibly offer, head to the finished basement with rich hardwood floors; a cozy den with gas fireplace; a game room with a pool table and full bar with custom inlay wood countertop, stone backsplash, sink, refrigerator, and dishwasher; a fitness room; a golf room; a full bathroom; and ample storage space to boot!
