This exceptional Colonial masterfully blends timeless architecture with sophisticated design. A welcoming central foyer opens to elegant living and dining rooms on either side; each defined by striking contemporary columns that pay homage to the area's historic character while embracing a modern aesthetic. From here, the home unfolds into an extraordinary kitchen and family room designed to be the heart of daily living and effortless entertaining. The designer kitchen is a showcase of craftsmanship, pairing crisp white cabinetry with rich mahogany accents for a timeless yet modern aesthetic. A dramatic black, Dekton island anchors the space, while premium appliances including a 6-burner BlueStar gas range, BlueStar double wall ovens, and a Bosch refrigerator, deliver professional-grade performance without sacrificing style. Just beyond, the inviting family room features custom built-ins surrounding a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone electric fireplace, creating a warm and sophisticated gathering space. Just beyond the kitchen, an expansive laundry room offers exceptional versatility. Designed to function as much more than just a laundry room, it features extensive cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, a built-in workspace, abundant storage, and ample room for crafting and hobbies. Beyond this space, you'll find a private apartment with it's own entrance - ideal for an au pair, long term guests, or extended family.

A stunning staircase leads to the second level, where wide hallways, soaring 9-foot ceilings, and an open landing enhance the home's spacious feel. Four bedrooms are located on this level, including a luxurious primary suite filled with natural light from three large windows. The suite offers a spacious ensuite bath and an impressive 30-foot long dual closet. One of the secondary bedrooms has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming playroom but can easily serve as a bedroom, office, or flex space. The finished lower level is equally impressive, highlighted by a THX-certified home theater complete with a stadium style seating with leather recliners for an immersive cinematic experience. A generous recreation room, full bathroom, exercise room/bonus room, and ample storage complete this exceptional level. Outdoor living is every bit as remarkable as the interior. A large, screened porch just off the kitchen provides the perfect setting for relaxing or dining outdoors insect free, beneath the breeze of an oversized ceiling fan. The covered bluestone patio extends the entertainment possibilities with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring granite bar seating alongside a built-in sink, refrigerator, freezer, flat-top griddle, and grill; featuring premium brands such as Bull, AMG, and Blaze appliances. A meandering bluestone walkway leads to a beautifully illuminated patio centered around a natural stone fire pit, creating an inviting destination for evenings under the stars. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized three-car garage with insulated doors, while the finished bonus space above offers exceptional versatility. Featuring electricity, modern grey flooring, and abundant natural light, this flexible space is ideal for a home office with a private entrance, fitness studio, creative workspace, or private retreat. Additional premium amenities include a whole-house generator and whole-house water filtration system, providing peace of mind and everyday convenience. Over $215,000 has been invested in the home since 2022 (see list of improvements in docs). Meticulously designed and exceptionally appointed, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living with spaces thoughtfully crafted for the way you live, entertain, and relax.
