Introducing a thoughtfully crafted custom-built traditional home that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Nestled on 4.5 acres in the scenic Durham valley, this residence boasts breathtaking views that will create a sense of tranquility. As you enter through the covered front porch, you are greeted by the grand 2 story foyer, leading the way through a home filled with thoughtful design and attention to detail. The gourmet kitchen with its oversized center island is the heart of the home, flanked by a formal dining room with arched entryways on one side, and the south facing breakfast room on the other side with oversized windows bathing the room with morning sun. A double-sided fireplace connects you to the sunken family room with floor to ceiling windows and custom wood built-ins offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal space for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Escape to the first-floor master bedroom suite, a sanctuary of relaxation with a master bath featuring a steam shower and soaking tub. This suite is complete with sunroom and private deck where you can unwind while taking in the panoramic vistas. Moving on to the second floor, there are three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering a haven for family and guests. Each bedroom is a retreat of its own...One of the bedrooms stands out with its unique feature—a rooftop terrace that beckons you to enjoy your morning coffee or stargazing into the night. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects two of the bedrooms, providing convenience and privacy. A separate home office and oversized bonus room complete the second floor offering additional flex space to use as you see fit! All levels of the home flow seamlessly with white oak random width flooring and in-floor radiant heat to keep you cozy all winter long. The full walk out lower level of the home is currently being used as a workshop, and houses a finished gym, but it also has the potential for further expansion and is roughed in for an additional bathroom, or for a potential in-law suite. But wait there's more! This eco-conscious residence features solar panels, a testament to its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency! You will appreciate the first floor laundry room, and 3 car attached garage for all your storage needs. Out back you will find an oversized curved deck where you can sit and watch as the herons soar by the 2 spring fed ponds, and embrace in the serenity of nature, the luxury of thoughtful design, and the convenience of modern amenities this exceptional residence offers... all located in the blue ribbon Palisades School District.
