Generously extended around its stunning 1710 jewelbox core, this oft magazine featured modern country estate is a one-of-a-kind 5 bedroom, 6 bath family retreat. The magical 5 acre compound features park-like grounds, including a bass-stocked pond for summer that serves as an ice rink in winter, pickleball court, bluestone-ensconced pool & spa, pool house, rose-covered pergola for summer dining, carriage barn, extensive landscape lighting throughout the property, as well as curated trails including one that reveals the property's waterfall. The newly expanded back patio is an entertainer's dream and its gorgeously landscaped vista feels like the European countryside.
