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.
