The Master Suite features a fireplace, Dressing Room and updated Bath with whirlpool tub and shower with frameless glass door, and a large, private balcony that overlooks the gardens and pool. 2 additional Bedrooms, a cozy Den, 2 newer Bathrooms, a Laundry Room and Linen Room complete this wheel chair accessible level. The 3rd floor includes 3 additional Bedrooms, a Playroom, a renovated full Bath, a Darkroom/Craft room, and excellent storage space. The 3-car garage features a workshop, a storage room, a loft that could become a terrific studio or playroom, and an adjacent dog run. The grounds are absolutely enchanting. Specimen trees and shrubs line the driveway and envelop the entire property, and the constantly blooming perennial gardens provide fresh flowers for most of the year. A covered mahogany porch overlooks the beautiful heated pool and spa with flagstone decking, and a separate flagstone patio provides additional space for entertaining or quiet pleasure.
