Capturing comfortable elegance throughout, there's a dramatic 2-story entry hall leading to a formal dining room and a living room with an exquisite fireplace accented with the gleaming hardwood floors found throughout. The bespoke kitchen, with furniture-quality cabinetry, granite counters, and an adjoining butler's pantry, makes culinary endeavors a breeze. It includes a breakfast area and opens to an alfresco dining area, as well as a welcoming family room with another fireplace and access to the terrace. A special highlight is the cherry-paneled library, which features a wet bar and fireplace. There's a bedroom off the kitchen, and on the second floor, you'll find 5 spacious bedrooms, including a lavish primary wing. There's also a versatile bonus room/studio adaptable for a variety of uses. The delights continue on the lower level, a world of its own with a climate-controlled 1000-bottle wine room and vast recreation space, including a billiards area, game room and lounge, and a mirrored gym. A 5-car garage including 2 lifts further adds to the many wonderful amenities. Stepping outside is an enchanting experience unto itself.
