Located on the secluded Braeside Lane-once prized as horse country-this newer, custom-built 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate sits on 1.2 acres of professionally landscaped grounds, complete with a 3-car attached garage. Step through the elegant etched glass double doors into a breathtaking two-story foyer, where a grand bridal staircase sets the tone for the sophistication found throughout. The main level boasts hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, and an open-concept design that seamlessly connects each space. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, featuring sleek Birdseye maple lacquered cabinetry, granite countertops, a matching backsplash and island with seating for four, and top-tier appliances including a KitchenAid refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher, and a Thermador 4-burner range. A walk-in pantry and built-in desk add functionality, while the sun-drenched breakfast room offers direct access to the multi-level cedar deck-perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the expansive family/great room impresses with 13-foot vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows, a granite bar, and custom built-ins surrounding a wood-burning/gas fireplace. The formal living and dining rooms, each adorned with crown molding, provide additional space for gatherings. A main-floor bedroom with a full en-suite bath makes for an ideal guest or in-law suite, while a well-equipped laundry/mudroom with sink, closets, and exterior access completes the first level. Upstairs, 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths await. The luxurious primary suite overlooks the pond and boasts a private seating area, cathedral ceilings, and 2 walk-in closets. The spa-like primary bath is a sanctuary with heated marble floors, floating cherry vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower, and soaring cathedral ceilings.
