Welcome to a true classic where no expense was spared in creating a theme of gracious entertaining for family and friends. Located at the head of a private cul-de-sac, and proudly perched on an 8+ acre perfectly manicured lot, this custom all brick stately colonial features four levels of spectacular living intentionally designed around an elevator that opens to unobstructed space on every floor. Constructed with commercial steel I-beams, thick foundation walls, high ceilings, 12 over 12 Pella windows, solid wood doors, triple crown moldings above/ deep baseboard moldings below and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout, this is truly a one-of-a-kind interior. The exterior with four sides of brick boasts a raised stone terrace in the rear and a stone front entrance porch, both enhanced by masonry balusters that creates an overall timeless architectural element along with the keystones that top every window. You will be impressed upon entry by the floating, curved staircase that is a piece of art in the two-story foyer, which is flanked by a formal dining room on the left and a formal living room on the right, a private study with six windows is accessed by glass French doors either by the living room in the front or by a handsome den with rich wood paneling, custom built-ins and fireplace in the rear.
