Beautifully produced and extravagantly appointed, this 6600sf, five bed, three-and-a-half bath home was recently transformed by a number of improvements and upgrades that have indisputably elevated its stature to a work of art in and of itself.The heart of every home is an inviting and functional kitchen, and numerous recent updates make this very inspiring place ideal for the aspiring cuisinier. Custom cherry cabinets complement new granite counters and backsplash, new Minka Lavery lighting, new under cabinet lighting, new professional grade Moen and Delta plumbing fixtures, new stainless steel sinks, and a new stainless steel appliance suite including a GE built-in double oven, Danby dual zone wine cooler, Jenaire Downdraft Gas Cooktop, Bosch Dishwasher, GE Microwave Oven and a Krüshr Trash/Recycling Compactor. The view from the Great Room undeniably takes center stage with a wall of windows and doors, but a commanding brick wall with gas-log fireplace and a 27' cathedral ceiling with skylights and remotely activated shades and cherry beams and elegant 72" Minka Aire ceiling fans provide a fair amount of competition. The home's three additional bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, laundry, formal and informal dining and intimate lounge with gas fireplace and convenient access to the brick terrace complete the main floor.The second level is devoted entirely to the master en suite and fifth bedroom. If a home office is a necessary convenience, the fifth bedroom will serve ideally well. An impressive Gatsby era en suite is introduced by leaded glass French doors and elegant Minka Lavery sconces that are repeated elsewhere throughout the home. Extraordinarily calming and sophisticated, this very special space features a 240sf private balcony with a freshly painted 'Mackinac Blue' ceiling; sitting area with gas fireplace; posh bath with onyx tub, shower and counter; custom cherry vanities; decorative sinks; elegant lighting fixtures; and an uncommon multi-dimensional closet.This is an estate made for entertaining and comfortable, relaxed living. Flexible outdoor spaces on the 1700sf brick terrace will accommodate dining, lounging and sunning with ease. Refurbished, rebuilt and better than new, all walls and flat surfaces have been touched by one of the area's finest masons and new limestone pier caps and wall caps were added for greater aesthetic appeal and durability.The unfinished lower level is replete with opportunity and has theoretically defined space for a large family room, game room (or theater room), fitness room (or wine cellar) and copious storage including over 1000sf of additional storage in a crawl space. Two crown jewels of the lower level are the split stone, gas-log fire place in the family room and the ramped access through the 3.5 stall heated garage to the great outdoors.At almost 200 acres, this spring fed, all-sports lake has a maximum depth of 60 feet, is known as a recreational hotspot and is renowned by anglers for an abundance of bluegill and largemouth bass.
