Classic, beautifully renovated stone and clapboard pre-war colonial with a slate roof emanates timeless elegance amid the privacy of nearly three gorgeous acres near public/private schools and just minutes from town. A front-to-back entry hall introduces the warmly inviting interior with exquisite architectural detail and exceptional amenities for comfortable family living throughout 7,563 square feet of well-proportioned living space. Stunning, expansive terraces with a stone fireplace and low sitting walls afford splendid outdoor venues for seasonal entertaining and al fresco dining overlooking the serenity of a lush, meticulously manicured landscape. The gracious living room, a richly paneled library and wonderful 33' x 17' vaulted-ceiling family room, all with French doors to terraces, feature fireplaces. The recently updated, superbly equipped gourmet kitchen with Italian marble center island and countertops is adjoined by a sunny breakfast room, also opening to the terrace. A lovely bay-windowed dining room, formal/informal powder rooms, a mudroom and laundry complete the main floor layout. Second and third floor family quarters include a spacious recreation/second family room and seven en suite bedrooms, two with fireplaces, including the generous master suite with a luxuriously renovated marble bath and 15' x 14' walk-in custom closet.
