    What's special

    Located within close proximity to amenities and conveniences, yet tucked away in a serene rural setting, this property (with pool) offers the best of both worlds. Welcome to this enchanting 5-bedroom colonial nestled on (what was once) sprawling farm land, where tranquility and elegance meet. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. The main level boats a sunken living room with double doors to the spectacular courtyard overlooking the property and pool. The kitchen boasts high end appliances including a Wolf Cooktop/Ovens and Sub Zero Refrigerator with freezer drawers and wet bar. A cozy den with fireplace is just off the kitchen. A property highlight includes the screened-in porch that sits just off the formal dining room. Lastly, there are two offices - one upstairs and one downstairs. Upstairs, retreat to the tranquil primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom and ample storage space. Four additional well-appointed bedrooms offer space for family or guests, each showcasing its own unique charm and style. Downstairs, there is a partially finished oversized basement, which currently houses a bar area, but could serve as any number of things! The outdoor spaces of this property are spectacular with vast open fields and lush greenery as far as the eye can see. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the expansive back patio, pool and cabana with kitchenette and bathroom. The possibilities for outdoor recreation and entertaining are endless.
