This special home is an elegant rustic retreat in an exclusive, private enclave of one-of-a-kind homes. The hub of daily activity in this entertainer’s dream house centers on the great room, anchored by the two-sided, floor-to-ceiling, river stone fireplace. This spectacular room has a wall of built-in bookcases with storage, a fireplace stove with brick surround, and an expansive forty-four foot wall of windows overlooking the private wooded 1.25 acre lot with in-ground pool and pool house providing unlimited serenity.

The other side of this impressive fireplace is set for casual dining and is open to the chef’s kitchen. Two large brick planters bring nature inside and add a lush feel to these surrounds. The unmistakable focal point of the kitchen is the eight-burner Viking stove and hood. Any chef will appreciate Sub-Zero refrigeration, beech wood custom cabinetry, granite countertops, ceramic tile floor and storage pantry.

Glass French doors separate the great room from the formal living room and dining room. The living room, with wood-burning fireplace, is large enough for a grand piano.

Custom mahogany floor-to-ceiling bookcases line two walls of the impressive library. Glass French doors with views of the tranquil outdoor space make this an ideal setting for an afternoon read.
