Nestled on 7 serene acres, this exceptional property offers complete privacy and tranquility. Designed by renowned local architect William Berkley, known for his mid-century modern and contemporary designs on Quaker Hill, this 2,768 SF home, built in 1967, is bathed in natural light and surrounded by stunning landscapes. The property's design integrates walls of windows and sliding glass doors, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the specimen plantings, flowering shrubs, and vibrant foliage. Upon entering the foyer, you are greeted by the formal living room with a cozy fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious primary suite, featuring sliding glass doors that open to a small, fenced area, ideal for pets. The suite also includes a walk-in closet, a full bath with a heated towel rack, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The mid-portion of the home includes a dining room with sliding glass door. Adjacent is the renovated chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, custom built maple cabinetry and granite countertops. Across from the kitchen, a laundry room offers ample storage space and convenient access to a powder room and the two-car garage. A large island with seating for three opens into the family room, the heart of the home. The family room boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a wall of sliding glass doors. Behind the family room are two additional rooms, both with outdoor access, sharing a full bath and a second fenced area. The flow of the home continues from the family room to a wet bar and office, with a sliding glass door leading to the back deck. A bedroom complete with a full bath, also connects to the second fenced area. These two rooms can easily be combined to create a new impressive primary bedroom. With its flexible and versatile layout, this home presents the perfect canvas for bringing your visions to life, be they minor cosmetic updates or grand designs. Outside, the multi-level deck and 16 x 16 screened-in gazebo offer abundant space for outdoor entertaining.
