Tudor-style windows and a towering, embossed double chimney stack punctuate the slate roof, exuding historic charm. Inside, the reception area boasts Venetian plaster walls, limestone flooring, and intricately restored plaster molding. A curved mahogany staircase spirals upwards, bathed in natural light from a skylight above, serving as a functional work of art. Through double French doors lies the library, with built-ins and a shallow cathedral ceiling. The formal living room spans over 30 feet, highlighted by a gas fireplace with an original hand-carved stone surround, while accent lighting enhances the space. Beyond, a sunroom designed by Ankie Barnes of BarnesVance Architects brings a contemporary flair with floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass cathedral ceiling fitted with automated blinds, creating an ethereal space overlooking the rear grounds. The formal dining room, banquet-sized for grand entertaining, features an original wood-burning fireplace, restored plaster molding, and recessed starlight lighting. Adjacent is a more intimate family room with hand-painted walls and a morning room with French doors opening to the rear deck. The chef's kitchen blends modernity and function with sleek stacked cabinets, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf range, a commercial Traulsen double refrigerator, and quadruple SubZero freezer drawers. The upper level is anchored by the sumptuous primary suite. Entered via a private sitting room, it includes a fireplace, a private office with expansive views, two large walk-in closets with built-ins, a mirrored dressing room, and a marble-clad ensuite bath featuring double vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and twin water closets. Additional upper-level highlights include a second bedroom with an ensuite bath, a walk-in cedar closet, and elevator access. The top floor offers a large third bedroom with a dressing area and ensuite bath, as well as a fourth bedroom featuring a beamed ceiling, wet bar, and private office with National Cathedral views. A Jack-and-Jill bath connects the latter to a bonus room, currently used as a fitness center. The lower level provides a fully self-sufficient in-law suite with a dedicated entrance, a mudroom, laundry facilities, and access to the attached three-car garage and additional carport. A spacious recreation room opens to an expansive patio with brick pavers and a fire pit, all enclosed for ultimate privacy. State-of-the-art systems include a sophisticated HVAC, DCS and Crimpco security with exterior cameras, and a comprehensive Lutron system controlling whole-house lighting and audio.
