Distinctive French chateau-style home situated on a little over half an acre with more than 80 mature trees creating a private setting. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a finished lower level, the home offers generous living space and a layout well suited for entertaining. A custom leaded-glass front door opens to the rotunda and sweeping curved hardwood staircase. The great room features a dramatic 20-foot wood-burning and gas fireplace, soaring ceilings and double doors opening directly to the patio for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. The kitchen features custom Amish-made cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, birdseye maple flooring with Brazilian cherry inlay and a walk-in pantry. An adjoining wet bar and separate butler's pantry provide additional space for entertaining, with the butler's pantry featuring Amish cherry cabinetry and Carrara marble. Custom woodwork continues into the dining room with Brazilian cherry flooring, maple inlay and a star medallion, while the library features walnut flooring with Brazilian cherry and maple inlays. A private first-floor bedroom with full en suite bath offers flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. A dedicated laundry room is also located on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private balcony, en suite bath and attached nursery/dressing room. Two additional generously sized bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and cedar-lined closets and share a Jack-and-Jill bath.
