Palatial Tudor Estate in Sparta Old World charm and timeless design elements artfully combine in a majestic all-brick Tudor estate surrounded by 4.7 acres of natural beauty. This architecturally nuanced manor offers five bedrooms, each with its own private bath, an indoor pool, eight-car garage and wonderful spaces for formal or relaxed get-togethers. A covered rear terrace overlooks peaceful views of the landscaped acreage which features a serene pond and extensive hardscaping. Approached by a paver circular drive, the size and scope of this amazing home is breathtaking. Located in the established Sawmill Estates enclave, its quiet cul de sac streets are characterized by other lavishly designed residences. Highlights of the expansive 18-room open floor plan include dramatically high ceilings measuring up to 40 feet tall, nine ornately-mantled fireplaces, generously sized public and private rooms, flooring of hardwood and stone, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Inspired by classical European architecture, this unique home offers a lifestyle of unmatched luxury and comfort. A handsome solid mahogany staircase at the entry ascends to an elevated gallery overlooking marvelous views of the main level. Beautifully detailed rooms feature architectural appointments fabricated from marble, oak, stone and mahogany, emphasizing the interior’s palatial aesthetic. Flowing from the entrance is a baronial dining room, butler’s pantry, elegant living room, fireside family room, library/office and chef’s kitchen adjoining a sunny breakfast room. Tucked away from the public spaces on the main floor are two primary suites, each offering a fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-like baths. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms also connect to spa-like full baths. One bedroom has a circular staircase to a bonus/storage room, and another bedroom provides stairs to a playroom. The second level presents open and roomy loft spaces for lounging, billiards and entertaining as well as a private study and enclosed bonus rooms. It also adjoins a huge covered terrace overlooking park-like scenery. Even more living space is discovered in the 10,000 square-foot finished walkout lower level. There is an indoor pool opening to the outdoors, a secondary living room, summer kitchen, home gym, sauna, wine cellar and access to the oversized eight-car garage.
