On a country road, down a tree-lined drive, this ten-acre estate enjoys a bucolic setting that delivers stunning views, perfectly framing the Georgian architecture that is echoed in landscaping. Three levels of luxury living plus an unfinished lower level are all accessible by elevator.

A four-car garage with a driveway that encircles the entire house provides easy access to the kitchen and patio for caterers when entertaining on a grand scale. The sweeping staircase overlooks the two-story entryway where a crystal chandelier sparkles. The formal dining room easily accommodates a large table for 12 or more guests and is elegantly situated beneath a pre-World War II Czechoslovakian crystal chandelier. A butler+GGs pantry provides a welcome service area between the dining room and the kitchen. The formal living room leads to the music room / library featuring a gas insert fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Arch-top doors lead from the living room to the magnificent 26-foot ceiling great room with a full wall of windows overlooking the flagstone patio and backyard beyond. A floor-to-ceiling Georgia ashlar stone fireplace and a cherry wood wet bar offer a warm and inviting ambience while in warm weather French doors open onto the grand flagstone patio. Black granite counter tops and back splash perfectly contrast the white cabinetry in the kitchen, where a massive center island with prep sink beckons a crowd. The second floor boasts an office/bedroom plus three en suite bedrooms and a laundry room in addition to the primary bedroom which occupies its own separate wing. Overlooking the family room at the top of the stairs is a wonderful balcony loft space currently home to a gorgeous Simonis-cloth covered pool table.
