Description:

Enjoy one level living at its finest in this 3300* sq ft classically built John Buchan home positioned beautifully on a gorgeous landscaped shy acre with sweeping circular drive lined with boxwood hedges, exuberant plantings and angled 3 car garage. With timeless old world elegance and European ambiance, this beautifully maintained home features 3 bedrooms, 3.25 baths, a main floor study & a rear staircase to the bonus room. This home lives true to a stylish tradition with abundant white painted wainscoting, coved ceilings with thick crown moldings and leaded glass windows. The brick adorned exterior boasts a symmetrical entry with copper turreted bay windows and double doors. Entering the foyer you are greeted by the formal living room with a bay window that frames the lush gardens and features a tall coved ceiling with crown moldings, wainscoting and floor to ceiling custom mantel surrounding the marble gas fireplace. The formal dining room to the right of the foyer is similarly adorned; both feature custom window treatments and in-ceiling sound speakers. The informal areas are spacious and enjoy the garden party backyard views. The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters & enhanced wood cabinetry, new gas cook top, double ovens & planning desk and looks out over the front yard grounds. The adjacent family room features a built-in hidden wet bar, wood cabinetry and brick surround gas fireplace. The informal dining area between the kitchen and family room features wainscoted walls, painted anaglyptic wall paper and French doors to the newer Timber Tech deck (never needs re-staining) with low maintenance white railings and the lush yard backing to greenbelt. The grounds are landscaped to perfection with over 300 Rhododendrons, flowering dogwood trees, an arbor with clematis, Japanese vine leaf maples and hundreds of other plantings offering a continual pop of color. A staircase off the informal areas leads to the bonus room which makes a great guest suite with the nearby 3/4 bath located off the mud room. At the other end of the home are the 3 bedrooms and study. The study (being used as a music room) boasts floor to ceiling wood paneling, a wall of bookshelves and a bayed window looking out to the front landscape. The master suite at the end of the hall is beautifully proportioned with a tall octagon ceiling with crown molding, wainscoted walls, white shutters and tranquil backyard views. The en-suite bath features marble floors, large double vanity, jetted tub, large walk-in closet and leaded glass window. The other 2 bedrooms share a large full bath. Beautifully maintained throughout; a 50 year rated old growth cedar roof in 2006 with a 20 year transferable warranty, newer Timber Tech deck with low maintenance white railings and fresh exterior paint in 2015. Additional highlights include wired for sound in the living room, dining room and family room, 12 zone sprinkler system and security system.
