A winding drive gently rises through majestic trees to this architect designed handsome Dutch shingle home built in 2001. Set on a hilltop plateau in the heart of Mid-Country, the property is spectacular and could easily support a large addition or a new build with substantial square footage available on the over 2 acre lot. The warmth and character of this 4,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home filled with superb architectural details including antique oak floors, arched doorways, lovely millwork, quality hardware, all suffused with stunning light is hard to duplicate. The gracious living room with its hand-hewn beamed ceiling detail with extra height, balcony, and French doors to a ''cocktail'' terrace has large windows on three sides and is anchored by an impressive fireplace. The paneled library with pocket doors has a built-in desk area, multiple bookshelves, gas fireplace and view to the rear garden. The well-outfitted kitchen has a charming eating area in a sunny bay with a custom bench and opens to the adjacent family room with built-ins, a fireplace, window seat, and French doors to the bluestone terrace, charming gardens, and broad, flat lawn. The dining room is formal and leads to the kitchen. The connecting hall opens to the kitchen as well and has a wet bar, powder room, and access to the convenient first floor bedroom suite. A mudroom with a copper counter and sink, and an oversized walk-in-closet doubles as a potting room and has stairs to a handy playroom on the lower level. The luxurious primary suite with a fireplace, built-ins, balcony, spacious dressing room, and deluxe bath presents a true retreat. 2 additional bedrooms, a connecting bath, and a separate laundry room complete the layout. An outstanding property in a prime location on a quiet cul de sac, only minutes from town.
