Sophisticated Woodbridge home
Five-bedroom colonial with fine architectural details
When this stately five-bedroom colonial was custom built in 1993, the owners specifically designed the floor plan to give them the option of having two master bedroom suites. This versatility, along with exquisite craftsmanship throughout, is just the beginning of the countless amenities afforded by this sophisticated residence.
“Having the choice of a first or second floor master bedroom suite opens up many possibilities for potential buyers no matter what their lifestyle,” listing agent Susan Santoro said. And with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, there is plenty of room for family, guests or even an au-pair.
“It’s an absolutely stunning home where no detail was overlooked,” Santoro says of the exceptionally-crafted home that has been updated to provide comfortable modern living while maintaining timeless details of classic design and character.
Casual elegance abounds throughout the 5,600-square-foot sun-filled interior brimming with fine appointments. The grand marble entry accented with a gracious turned staircase and a magnificent chandelier on a custom lift makes an impressive entrance.
Just off the foyer are French doors leading to a handsome library with cherry built-ins and an adjacent full bath. The living room and dining room are well-suited for entertaining. The banquet-size dining room with its built-in hutch and cabinets can accommodate large gatherings or intimate dinners. The living room is adorned with dentil moldings, a fireplace with ornate mantel and surround.
The heart of the home lies in the beautifully remodeled kitchen and family room. Owners will delight in the oversized curved island, granite counters and all new stainless-steel appliances. The spacious breakfast area is perfect for every day dining and is set by a wide bank of windows that bring in the beauty of the natural surroundings along with a French door that
opens to an expansive deck with an electric awning overlooking the sprawling back yard.
The kitchen is open to a wonderful family room with a gas fireplace with stone surround, a wall of built ins and a wet bar.
“This space was designed for entertaining and encourages togetherness,” says Santoro.
The main level master bedroom suite offers an amazing space with its fireplace, tray ceiling with cove lighting, two walk-in closets and a luxurious remodeled marble bath with steam shower and jacuzzi tub.
The upper level boasts the second master suite option which features a bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. There are two more generously proportioned bedrooms and another full bath on this level.
The third floor offers the added versatility of an in-law, guest or au pair suite with a spacious bedroom, sitting area and full bath. For those who need more space, the finished walk-out lower level offers over 1,800 square feet of additional space. Perfect for leisure time or casual entertaining, it is complete with a game room, a fireplace, gym, wet bar and a possible media room.
This spectacular home is set on 1.5 lush, level acres on a cul-de-sac in the award-winning Amity school system. Added amenities include a three-car garage, irrigation system and generator hookup.
