Follow the front stone walkway leading to the 3" custom double doors by Renaissance - an appropriate entrance for this grand home! Once inside, guests are greeted by a spacious entryway offering access to main level rooms or the upper level hall via the wide stairway with wrought iron railing. The main level of this home is spacious with its 11' ceilings, open concept floor plan and abundance of French door-windows.
The kitchen and dining room area offer an old-world styled space where food preparation becomes fun and entertaining guests becomes an art form! The 1930 restored York six-burner stove with retro-fitted electric ovens is a focal point and conversation piece in the kitchen, while the copper sinks and designer lighting add even more character and charm to this space. Custom cherry cabinetry surrounds the entire kitchen which is completed with a large center island, ceramic countertops with copper inserts, Asko dishwasher, stainless steel GE Profile refrigerator/freezer, appliance garages, built-in desks and much more!
The openness of the floor plan continues from the dining room and kitchen into the stately forty foot long great room with entertainment center and eight French doors opening to the back deck which stretches the length of the house to its corner hot tub. The huge working fireplace in this room is surrounded by an antique English Gothic chimneypiece and warm wood floors cover the entire floor space of this room.
Guest are greeted by the highly unusual French Art Nouveau antique faux fireplace in the library which also offers built-in bookcases, French door access and ceramic tile floors. This room would also work well as a 4th bedroom or guest suite due to the adjacent full bathroom.
A stylish mudroom/breezeway offers access to the hot tub/spa area of the rear deck or the front of the home. In addition, this room connects the home to the oversized three car garage which allows for 1.5 cars per bay. The garage is heated and has three drainage areas for ice and snow melt. To the side of the garage is a small courtyard with a pillared entrance set with antique fleur-de-lis stone panels. The larger front courtyard is peach-stoned and private with its tall, encompassing hedgerow. A treated wood deck runs the entire rear length of the home, and is perfect for entertaining large groups outdoors.
