Timeless elegance meets modern living — a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design perched majestically atop a hill. This extraordinary residence offers panoramic views that greet you at every turn and a facade that stops you in your tracks. Designed with an artful reverence for historical architecture, this home was custom-built to honor the details of a bygone era while delivering every comfort of contemporary living. The sweeping double front porch, accessible directly from two upstairs bedrooms, sets the tone for a home that was conceived for gracious living. Whether savoring a quiet morning with coffee in hand or watching the seasons paint the landscape below, this porch becomes an extension of your soul. Step inside to discover a foyer where rich parquet hardwood floors and soaring millwork announce that this is no ordinary home. Every wall, every archway, every molding tells the story of local artisans who poured their skill and pride into every detail — from the exquisitely paneled dining room with its arched built-in display niches and dramatic fireplace to the staircase that rises with effortless elegance. Six fireplaces warm the home both literally and figuratively, including a generous hearth in the kitchen that transforms winter mornings into something worth lingering over. The kitchen itself is spacious and functional, with a large central island, warm wood cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast area that makes everyday living feel like an occasion. For the warmer months, a large screened porch invites al fresco dining and evening entertaining in complete comfort while a private patio and beautifully situated pool make the most of the elevated setting and sweeping views beyond — the kind of outdoor experience that makes coming home feel like a getaway. The creative spirit is well served here. A dedicated art studio flooded with natural light offers an inspiring retreat for painters, sculptors, or anyone who needs a beautiful space to think. A detached second garage presents limitless flexibility — with the bones and positioning to become a guest house, media room, home office, or studio of another kind entirely. The lower level has been finished with family joy in mind: a dedicated toy room and stage for little performers ensure that the youngest members of the household have a world entirely their own. This is a home that cannot be replicated; it was designed once, built once, and loved — now it waits for the family whose life is large enough to fill it. This property parcel includes parcel ID#: [hidden information]. All fireplaces and pool being sold ”as-is.”
