A lengthy brick-lined driveway leads through a sprawling grassy lawn and into the expansive motor court, complete with parking for numerous vehicles in an enchanting courtyard-like setting. Inside, guests are greeted by a spiral staircase and beautiful chandelier in the foyer. Soft whites and natural woods give the light-filled living room its inviting appeal, highlighted by exposed beams, paned windows, classic mantel, and French doors. The adjacent library with fireplace and built-in shelving is the perfect place for work, study, or quiet reading. A newly updated gourmand's country kitchen is appointed with top-of-the-line appliances including three Gaggenau ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. There is also a butler's pantry with walk-in storeroom and adjacent breakfast area which comfortably seats eight. The formal dining room, with walk-in temperature-controlled wine room, includes a custom buffet and is ideal for dinner parties and family gatherings. In the family room, discover a versatile 210-inch Crestron-controlled Planar LED system, folding glass doors to the outside, coffered ceilings, and wet bar with wine refrigerator and ice maker. Upstairs, the lavish primary suite offers a sitting room with fireplace and private balcony access, dual walk-in closets, linen closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with two separate vanities and toilet rooms, double shower, and jetted tub. The upgraded and expanded pool house serves as a luxurious guest retreat with a living room, bedroom, gym, bathroom, and sizable office/screening room with a large TV and private balcony overlooking the peaceful rear grounds. The reimagined, resort-style backyard is an entertainer's dream, complete with outdoor kitchen, living, and dining rooms, a grassy yard, a shimmering pool with waterfalls, separate spa, and dog run.

Cons

Age of Core Structure: Built in 1985, while many areas are updated, the underlying structure and potentially some systems may be original, which could imply future maintenance or upgrade considerations beyond the visible renovations.
High Maintenance & Operating Costs: The extensive luxury features, large lot, pool, spa, and advanced systems will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance, utility, and operational expenses for a prospective owner.
Niche Architectural Style: The 'Country French estate' style, while elegant, caters to a specific aesthetic preference, potentially narrowing the buyer pool compared to a more broadly appealing contemporary design.
