Tucked away on a highly sought-after lane, a sweeping driveway entry to this distinctive custom-built home. Masterfully blending character with privacy, a grand portico and mahogany double-doors open to a sunken main family room anchored by the stunning floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace. The exposed timber beams through soaring vaulted ceilings of this great room, flowing seamlessly into a beautiful glass-wrapped sunroom. This heated space offers indoor-outdoor luxury, night or daytime sky viewing, and overlooks the stone patio surrounding the inground pool, with stone steps to the outdoor gazebo atop this resort-style oasis. The elegant open-archways thoughtfully designed for soft transitions to each room preserve an open-layout concept while curating each room's viewpoint into a dramatic setting.
