Property Description

Privately set below the street amid mature trees and beautifully established landscaping, this gracious single-level home offers a wonderful sense of separation and an exceptional connection to the outdoors. From the lovely landscaped front grounds, step inside to a spacious entry where the thoughtful floor plan unfolds, with gathering spaces to one side and a dedicated bedroom wing to the other. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace with custom mantel, extensive built-ins and a large picture window framing the gardens. A broad arched opening leads to the spacious formal dining room with vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry and a bay window with cushioned seat. Adjacent, a butler's pantry/bar with abundant storage and built-in beverage refrigerator transitions naturally to the kitchen. Designed for cooking and gathering, the kitchen features extensive cabinetry and counter space, a large center island, two sinks, gas cooktop, double ovens, built-in workspace and two sets of French doors to the gardens. It opens to a fireside casual dining area with wet bar and French doors outside, followed by a light-filled family room with vaulted ceilings, extensive built-ins, window seat and garden views. Near the kitchen, an en suite bedroom with full bath, built-in desk and exterior access offers wonderful flexibility. A dedicated laundry room and separate exterior bonus room provide additional options for an office, gym or creative space. The bedroom wing includes two secondary bedrooms, one with an en suite bath, plus a full hall bath. The spacious primary suite features dual walk-in closets with extensive built-in organization, vaulted ceilings, fireplace and French doors to the garden. The en suite bath offers a jetted tub, separate stall shower, dual sinks, abundant storage and private water closet. Outside, a broad level lawn, patios, mature trees, established gardens, surrounding views and a separate raised-bed garden create inviting spaces to gather, entertain and unwind.
