This exquisite brick estate, maintained by its original owners, offers more than 8,000 square feet across three finished levels, all nestled on nearly an acre of lush, private land. Blending timeless craftsmanship with luxurious amenities, the home presents a thoughtful balance of grand entertaining spaces and tranquil private quarters. With custom details, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a main-level primary suite, roof replaced in 2023, and even an interior sauna, this residence is as impressive as it is inviting. A stately circular driveway with a paver-stone approach welcomes you to the front entrance. Inside, the two-story foyer sets the tone with gleaming marble floors and elegant picture frame molding. To the right, the formal dining room mirrors these finishes and adds crown molding for a refined touch. To the left, a distinguished home office features a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and a striking coffered ceiling, ideal for work or study. At the heart of the home is the magnificent great room, where a soaring two-story ceiling and a wall of windows flood the space with natural light. An atrium door, framed by sidelights and topped with clerestory windows, opens to the rear deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Anchored by a cozy fireplace, this room gives access into the open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, and family room, creating a unique layout perfect for both everyday life and elevated entertaining. The kitchen features 42-inch cabinetry with display space, granite counters, GE Profile stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop and double wall ovens, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient breakfast bar. The adjoining family and breakfast rooms share a dual-sided fireplace with the great room and have a vaulted ceiling, offering another warm and welcoming gathering space. A butler’s pantry connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, and nearby, the laundry room and access to the three-car side-loading garage offer everyday functionality. The main-level primary suite is a luxurious retreat with double door entry, rich hardwood flooring, picture frame molding, a tray ceiling, and a sunlit bump-out sitting area. The spa-like primary bath includes a double sink vanity, a soaking tub, and a tiled shower with frameless glass, and direct access to two spacious walk-in closets. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each feature walk-in closets. One has a private en-suite bath, and two of the bedrooms are connected by a shared full bath, offering comfort and convenience for family or guests. The lower level evokes the ambiance of a high-end boutique hotel. Rich wood accents, sconce and pendant lighting, a sleek stone fireplace, and multiple sitting areas create an upscale lounge atmosphere with access to the backyard. A raised platform stage is perfect for at-home performances or karaoke nights. The wet bar with seating and a beverage refrigerator anchors the space, and the hardwired sound system enhances the experience. This level also includes a bonus room ideal for exercise or hobbies, a spacious sixth bedroom, and a moody full bath complete with steam shower, heated floor, and a sauna large enough for multiple guests. There is also ample unfinished storage space for seasonal or long-term items. The backyard is a private, park-like escape. A large composite deck overlooks a winding paver walkway, detailed with inset landscaping, a decorative bridge, and mature plantings. This walkway leads to a second patio with a pergola, perfect for outdoor dining or quiet reflection. A six-foot fence encloses most of the backyard while maintaining views of the surrounding landscape and gardens. Additional features include a zoned HVAC, a side-loading three-car garage, and access to highly rated schools. Ideally situated and thoughtfully designed, this exceptional home offers luxury, comfort, and distinction in equal measure.
