Move-in for the Holidays! Presenting an exquisitely crafted, new construction by a prominent local builder. The timeless colonial design is accentuated by brick chimneys, classic shutters, and a welcoming covered front porch. White oak floors, custom paneling, and handpicked finishes enhance the home's interior, welcoming you with soaring ceilings. Sleek spaces include the family room with coffered ceiling and granite-surround fireplace, chic dining room with a bar and floating shelves, and a formal living room. The study, graced with walls of windows, has ample natural light and a private exterior entrance. A true showpiece, the chef's kitchen boasts Wolf and SubZero appliances, thick quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinetry, beverage center, and an eat-in island framed by French doors. Upstairs, the en-suite bedrooms include a primary suite with a fireplace, 2 walk-in closets, and a vaulted ceiling sitting room, ideal for sunset views. The spa-like primary bath showcases marble floors, dual custom vanities with quartz counters, and a soaking tub. A playroom with 12' shiplap ceilings adds to this floor, while the finished 3rd level offers a 5th bedroom and playroom. Other highlights: tiled mudroom with full bath and backstairs, 3-car heated garage, and generator. Lush landscaping, flagstone patio, stone walls, and a pool site create a backyard retreat with no wetlands. Masterfully designed and just minutes from the Village, this home sets a new standard of living.
