Property Description
This extraordinary residence, originally dating to the 1920s and completely rebuilt in 2010-including a fully excavated lower level-offers an exceptional blend of timeless architectural character and refined modern luxury across four impeccably finished levels. Set on an expansive 75 x 187 lot, the stately brick exterior, enhanced by a handsome porte cochere, creates a memorable and elegant introduction to the home, hinting at the remarkable quality and thoughtful design found within. Every detail has been meticulously curated to deliver a home of extraordinary craftsmanship, scale, and sophistication. Rich custom millwork, beautifully crafted windows, bespoke cabinetry, exquisite stonework, and designer lighting are seamlessly integrated throughout, creating a cohesive and elevated aesthetic. The interior offers both grand, light-filled spaces ideal for entertaining and more intimate, comfortable areas designed for everyday living. The property itself is equally impressive, with lush, professionally landscaped grounds (designed by Red Spade Environments) fully irrigated by an in-ground sprinkler system. The outdoor living experience is truly exceptional, featuring a stunning patio with pergola that invites relaxed gatherings, as well as a second, more casual patio just off the kitchen and family room-perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Adding to the charm and uniqueness of the setting is a charming brick garage with its own outdoor fireplace and patio, creating a warm and inviting retreat for entertaining or quiet, tranquil evenings at home. Perfectly positioned in a highly sought-after location, this home offers unparalleled convenience to top-rated schools, scenic parks, a nearby golf courses (18 hole and 9 hole par 3), tennis and paddle facilities, and the vibrant town center with its shops, dining, and train access. Combining architectural integrity, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location, this is a truly special offering that embodies both elegance and lifestyle at the highest level.
