Like a jewel in a magnificent setting, this two-story residence is perfectly situated at the end of a gently sloping drive that sets the stage for arrival at a welcoming cobblestone framed courtyard and this beautiful home of distinction. Set among a delightful five acres of lush green lawns, manicured boxwood, flowering shrubs, meticulously maintained old growth trees and handsome hardscape, Sunsets is a symphony of craftsmanship and masterful design.

Timeless without being predictable, the home’s exterior is comprised of a cedar shake roof with varying elevations and a cedar shingled façade. A single-story circular tower with a cone shaped roof, dormers, a cupola and red brick chimneys add character and interest to the home’s composition. Archtopped mahogany double entry doors with beveled glass open to a soaring double height foyer with balanced symmetry, large circular windows and a hand cut limestone floor with radiant heat. Elegant repeating arched doorways lead to beautifully proportioned principal rooms that flow easily from one to the next.

Ceiling heights vary up to 18 ft. 11 in. on the first level and lend to the interplay between grand and intimate spaces. Impeccable millwork and custom moldings tailor each room and distinguish the interiors. Gorgeous coffered ceilings add refinement to the formal living room. Three sets of French doors overlook an expansive bluestone and brick patio and lovely rear gardens.

A French limestone mantle surrounds the gas fireplace.

The formal dining room is perfect for elegant gatherings. The kitchen is like a jewel box with an informal octagon shaped eating area nestled next to a raised hearth gas fireplace with French tile surround. Custom crafted white cabinetry, durable Kirkstone countertops, a large prep island with storage and limestone floors with radiant heat add to the ambiance of this entertainer’s kitchen. It is outfitted with integrated Sub-Zero freezer and refrigerator drawers, two dishwashers, Wolf ovens, and two sinks. The kitchen opens to the spectacular family room which features an 18 ft. 4 in. tall barreled ceiling juxtaposed with massive wood beams. Natural light floods the room through windows on three sides and a gas fireplace adds wonderful warmth to the space. The library/office is wrapped in gleaming wood paneling and cabinetry topped by dentil molding. Six windows encircle the far end of the room with views of the front courtyard. The serene master bedroom is a sumptuous retreat. It has an 11 ft. 7 in. high tray ceiling, a large arch topped window with garden views, and a gas fireplace with a pretty tile surround. There is access to the rear patio and gardens as well as dual dressing closets with custom cabinetry. The spa-like master bath has two vanities, a jacuzzi tub, a rainfall shower and radiant heat floors. A sitting room with adjacent bedroom and bath and a laundry room complete this level.

At the top of the main staircase on the second level, a comfortable open sitting area with built-in shelves and a window seat overlooks the family room from a balcony. Three generously-sized bedrooms, two full baths and a spacious bonus room with charming window seats and heart pine floors completes this level.

Outdoors, a spectacular sparkling in-ground heated saltwater pool with an automatic cover and brick and bluestone surround is set off by attractive stone walls that blend with the green lawns and canopy of trees surrounding the back of the property. There is an irrigation system, a full house generator, a Sonos sound system both indoors and outdoors as well as landscape lighting that employs a moonlighting technique gently illuminating the property at night. An attached garage has bays for three vehicles.

With eight members, the neighborhood homeowner association provides sanitation removal, street maintenance and snow removal from common areas as well as landscaping at the community entry (HOA/dues req.). Sunsets is distinguished by the combination of remarkable craftsmanship and materials and beautiful design that culminate in an elegant, open, comfortable and gracious home in a lush park-like setting where luxurious and easy living can be found.
