Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking 6 Burner cook top with pasta pot faucet, Convection wall oven & warming drawer, wine refrigerator, wood island w/breakfast bar & prep sink, granite countertops & tile backsplash.

Highlighting the first floor is a floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the expansive great room with soaring wood vaulted ceilings, opens to both the dining room and a cozy (although not small) screen porch with a wood burning stove & plexiglass window panels available to install when the chilly weather comes. The porch overlooks a large brick patio, stream and private landscaped yard. Other features of the main level include a spacious half bath with laundry and utility sink closets, family room with a few unique surprises of it's own as seen in the listing photos, plus a den with cabinetry for the media center holding the whole house sound system and CAT 7 wiring. Upstairs is the master BR with walk in closet and a spa-like tile bath boasting a large, walk-in tile shower, jetted tub and skylite. You won't want to leave this space! In addition, there are 2 BRs and a full bath on this floor as well as an office with built-in desks & fireplace overlooking the great room. The entire 3rd floor features another huge bedroom, bath & sitting or bonus room. That's not all--there's a 3 car garage and a separate workshop in the carriage house. BONUS! A furnished 1 BR apartment with washer/dryer above (new in about 2014) that's currently rented for $1500/month, perfect for an in-law suite or private in-home office. Total 5 BRs, 4.5 baths with the carriage house. Don't miss the basketball court to the left of the carriage house/garage! This home is truly one of a kind!
