interior delivers on every one of those expectations. A spacious foyer welcomes you in and draws your gaze immediately toward the back of the home, where the family room unfolds around a wood-burning fireplace — an increasingly rare find – flanked by custom built-ins and complemented by bookshelf cabinetry that gives the space an inviting, lived-in warmth. The picture window here frames the backyard like a painting you’ll never tire of looking at. Between the family room and the kitchen, the dining room has direct access to the deck and overlooks the yard – so beautiful the owners use it for everyday dining. Clever pocket doors allow the kitchen to be closed off when entertaining, a thoughtful detail that speaks to how carefully this home was designed. The kitchen is genuinely lovely: ivory cabinetry with granite counters, subway tile backsplash, gas cooktop, Miele double wall ovens, and a panel-front refrigerator. A slightly lowered counter section is a baker’s delight, and a cozy nook – originally designed as a breakfast area – has been reimagined as a quiet sitting spot with views over the yard and pond. The main floor also includes a well-appointed mudroom with garage access, a family command station, a powder room with charming wallpaper, and a flex room with sliding barn doors – ideal as a home office or reading room. Upstairs, the wide staircase leads to a generous landing before arriving at the recently updated primary suite. It overlooks the yard, and the renovated ensuite is exceptional – thick marble counters, aged brass fixtures, and a herringbone-tiled shower where every detail has been chosen with care. The walk-in closet, outfitted with custom built-ins and his-and-hers laundry hampers, renders dressers unnecessary. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room with sink complete the upper level. And then there is the backyard. Mature trees, a stone-edged pond, layered gardens bursting with perennials, multiple stone patio areas, a pergola, and additional green space beyond the property line – it is a garden sanctuary unlike anything you’ll find in a typical suburban yard. The seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces makes entertaining feel entirely natural here. Backing onto green space, this is a home that rewards every glance – from the street, from the kitchen window, from a quiet evening on the patio. (id:62650)
