Rise above it all in this grand, light-filled brick Colonial! Exceptional upgrades to enhance the indoor and outdoor living, working, relaxing and entertaining spaces begin as soon as you ascend the lighted exterior steps framed by stone retaining walls to the Travertine terrace. Eight-foot Tuscan iron glass double doors open to the custom tile-patterned entry foyer, then on into the airy gallery with a dramatic curved staircase rising to the second floor. Flanking the foyer are the formal dining room with walk-through to the kitchen via a butler’s pantry, and the living room with built-in cabinetry, a fireplace and sunroom access. Overlooking the patio and pool deck at the rear of the home is the family room that brings the outdoors in with windows soaring two stories high, a full-height stone fireplace and a nearly 20’ coffered ceiling. An open concept space, the large eat-in kitchen is adjacent. Renovated in 2015, it has Thermador appliances, a six-burner gas range, expanded cabinetry, and a wine refrigerator and wet bar in the butler’s pantry. All the countertops were upgraded to quartz in 2022. At the other side of the family room, double doors lead to an office or bedroom space with an ensuite full bath and built-in bookshelves. Two covered porches on the back of the home lead to the luxury outdoor living space that was transformed in 2017 to include a 40’x20’ heated in-ground pool with striking fire and water features, multiple shade-providing remote-controlled pergolas, two flagstone patios, and surround-sound audio. Additional outdoor living updates include a wood-burning fireplace, stone sitting ledges, an eight-seat hot tub and a covered cooking and serving space with a direct line natural gas grill, built-in refrigerator and sink. Adding to the airy feel of the home, the second level hallway is open nearly 180 degrees to overlook the family room and gallery. It leads to four bedrooms, three with windows on two walls, and all with private or shared-entry full baths. The spacious primary bedroom suite has both a sitting area and bedroom space, with 10’ tray ceilings, walk-in closet with custom shelving, dual-sink full bath, attic access for additional storage, and exclusive access to a private covered balcony with a pool view and remote-controlled pergola roof. In 2019, to expand the entertaining functionality, the basement was totally renovated to add a home theater with built-in media cabinet and a private-entry exercise room, along with a kitchenette/wet bar in the recreation room, and a guest suite/bonus room with ensuite full bath. There are three-bay garages and 3 valet guest parking spots.

This smart home also has added smart security system, a new septic system in 2018, dual-fuel wifi-controlled HVAC systems in 2014 and 2016, and whole house backup generator in 2012.
