Description

This magnificent estate masterfully unites the enduring elegance of a classic 1920s carriage house—graciously appointed with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 full bath—with the refined opulence of a newly constructed colonial residence, boasting 5 luxurious bedrooms and 5 spa-inspired baths. Together, these two distinguished homes offer an extraordinary blend of historic charm and modern sophistication, delivering an unrivaled lifestyle on one prestigious property. Nestled on a sprawling secluded lot, the historic carriage house stands as a timeless testament to the craftsmanship and elegance of the early 20th century. The wavy "Crown" glass windows that have been restored to perfection evoke nostalgia, while the meticulously restored woodwork and exposed beams inside create an inviting atmosphere. The carriage house serves as an exceptional guest retreat, art studio, or a cozy space for gatherings, with an abundance of character and warmth that only a century-old structure can provide. Adjacent to this historical gem is the stunning, newly built residence, crafted by the renowned architect McIntyre Capron and brought to life by Mullray Builders—an impressive 6,500 square feet of contemporary luxury. Designed with a forward-thinking vision, the home boasts the latest in smart home technology, energy-efficient systems, and top-tier amenities. The open-concept living spaces are flooded with natural light, highlighting the clean lines and high-end finishes that define this modern masterpiece. Expansive glass walls offer sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, blending the indoors with the serene outdoors. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line appliances, island seating and an adjoining breakfast room with fireplace for those cozy winter mornings. The family room features a vaulted ceiling, a fireplace and flows effortlessly off of the kitchen and breakfast room. This open floor is perfect for entertaining! The first level is finished with a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom that includes a copper soaking tub, and dual expansive walk-in closets. The second floor boasts four additional bedrooms. The bedrooms are spacious, with ensuite bathrooms and ample closet space, offering modern convenience and plenty of privacy for family or guests. With a dedicated desk area, overhead cabinets, and a separate craft and wrapping paper room perfect for all your holiday celebrations. The fully finished walk-out lower level is designed for lively family gatherings, recreation, fitness, or simply relaxing in style. A stone-clad wet bar takes center stage, exuding the warmth and charm of a classic Irish pub, with rich wooden cabinetry, shelves stocked with glassware, and a selection of fine spirits. This inviting space also features a full bath, complete with a distinctive urinal, adding a bit of playful character to this rustic yet refined retreat. Throughout the home, luxury features like automation systems, and security cameras provide both comfort and safety. An abundance of landscape lighting welcomes you at the entrance, with stonewalls and lights framing the drive. Up lights beneath mature trees create a soft glow, while path lights guide you to both the main residence, carriage house and Barn each illuminated to highlight their architectural beauty. This exceptional estate embodies the pinnacle of luxury, refinement, and unparalleled elegance!
