HOUSE BEAUTIFUL will be your first impression when you visit this incredible home. The Timeless Character of this 1946 brick Cape Cod has been Preserved and Enhanced by George DeFalco (formerly of Tradition Homes) during the 2009-2012 Phased Expansions. Thoughtful Design, Architectural Detailing, Countless Amenities and Exceptional Livability are Hallmarks here. Open and Private Spaces are Perfectly Balanced. Abundant Natural Light with Optimal Eastern Exposure, Soothing Neutral Color Palette, Circular Flow, and Breathtaking Sunset and Garden Views set this Home Apart. Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of the Crisp, Simple Design that Seamlessly incorporates Today's Necessities into Hidden and Recessed Built-ins, Nooks and Crannies. Pictures tell only Half the Story. Go on a Treasure Hunt and Explore--Open Doors, Cabinets, and Closets. Look Deeper to Discover all the Surprising Features this Extraordinary Home offers. Here is a Brief Appetizer: Solar Panels, EV Charger, Bubble Chandelier, Skylights, Clerestory Windows, Halo Mirrors, In-Law/Guest Suite with Bath, Harry Potter Closet, etc. You will get some Hints from our 3D-Tour but be sure to ask Your Agent for "The List", so you don't miss anything! OUTSIDE, you will be delighted by the Private, Fenced Backyard where Hosting Milestone Celebrations of 80-100 Guests is possible with the Expansive Central Lawn, 15 x 23 ft. Curved Flagstone Patio with Sitting Wall and Serene Screened Porch.
