This home, built by a prominent builder for his family, was designed for entertaining on a grand scale, yet is comfortable for everyday living. One leaves the world behind as the private driveway cascades down an oak framed knoll to the home, on nearly 7 acres and featuring nearly 10,000 square feet of living space. Both the living and family rooms feature wood burning fireplaces, and the family room has a wet bar. The kitchen and breakfast nook have garden views. An island provides room for 5 barstools. Close by the kitchen is the formal dining room, which easily seats 12. The primary suite, on the homes main level, consists of a huge bedroom and office, and an en suite bath with a spa tub and shower, and 2 sinks, dressing areas, water closets, and walk in closets. Teens in particular will love the recreation room downstairs, with a fireplace, wet bar, and spaces for game tables. Off the recreation room is a sauna and steam shower that serves the huge stone deck patio, the swimming pool and spa, and grassy play area. The tennis court can be reconfigured for pickleball. Two living spaces are ideal for older children or multi gen families: a studio under the garage, and the bedroom on the mid level with a sliding door leading outside.
