Privately sited on four magnificent acres, this extraordinary estate presents a rare combination of architectural distinction, impressive scale, and refined luxury. The residence artfully blends the timeless elegance of Greek Revival design with authentic Dutch Colonial character, creating a home of remarkable presence and enduring appeal. At its heart, a breathtaking two-story great room commands attention with a soaring stone fireplace and dramatic proportions, flowing effortlessly into an elegant bar and sunroom designed for memorable entertaining. The newly reimagined chef’s kitchen pairs sophisticated design with premium appliances, while beautifully appointed formal living and dining rooms showcase rich hardwood floors, intricate crown moldings, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A sun-filled screened porch captures coveted southern exposure, offering an idyllic setting for relaxed afternoons and intimate gatherings. Beyond, a private study overlooks the resort-inspired pool and year-round guest house, creating a serene connection between the home’s gracious interiors and its beautifully landscaped grounds. The upper level is anchored by an exceptional primary retreat featuring a bespoke spa-inspired bath and expansive dressing room, accompanied by additional bedrooms and a private guest suite. The finished lower level provides generous recreation and guest accommodations, while a separate two-bedroom in-law residence with a fire-placed living room offers exceptional versatility and privacy. Outside, mature specimen landscaping, handsome stonework, a charming gazebo, and thoughtfully designed grounds create a picturesque estate setting. New irrigation, a whole-home generator, and an extraordinary seven garage bays further distinguish this singular property—an exceptional offering created for sophisticated living, grand-scale entertaining, and an unparalleled sense of retreat.
