Experience the rare combination of refined living, exceptional privacy, and timeless craftsmanship in this extraordinary custom residence set on 3 picturesque acres. Far from cookie-cutter, this distinctive 4,500+ square-foot home was thoughtfully expanded and extensively renovated in 2003, creating a truly remarkable property designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living.<br>
</br>
The main level offers an exceptional sense of space and convenience, with a luxurious primary suite, laundry room, office, dining room, library/music room, family room, mud room, and an inviting living room centered around a dramatic two-sided custom gas fireplace. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a Jack/Jill full bath provide abundant accommodations. A fully equipped private apartment with its own entrance provides the 4th bedroom and a full bath. With the ability to be completely separated from the main residence, it offers an extraordinary level of flexibility—ideal for multigenerational living, an au pair, guests, or extended family.<br>
