An estate of quiet distinction, impossible to replicate today. Set atop Nashawtuc Hill, this brick Georgian Colonial, designed by Marcus Gleysteen and built by KVC in 2003 to a standard of craftsmanship rarely seen, is offered for the first time by its original owners. Its exceptional care is evident in every detail from the slate roof and solid brick exterior to the fieldstone garden walls and interior design. The thoughtful floorplan spans four levels, highlights include mahogany doors, floors and mantels, coffered ceilings, floor-to-ceiling quarter-sawn oak library and three staircases, the grandest of which sweeps upward through a two-story bay of windows. Comfortable rooms include a front-to-back living room flowing into the dining room and library, while the nearly 40-foot kitchen features a hearthside dining area and sunlit sitting room. French doors throughout the first floor open to a bluestone terrace stretching the length of the house and overlooking the heated pool with expansive brick decking where Summer never ends! Upstairs, five bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with a double vanity marble bath, plus a private office, laundry and fun billiard room beneath exposed trusses, connected to the first-floor family room by a separate stairway. The third floor is dedicated to peace and wellness with exercise room, sauna, full bath and a private office. The walkout lower level is ideal for multigenerational living or au pair, offering a private one-bedroom suite with full kitchen, bath, laundry and separate entrance, providing stair-free access without passing through the main house and French door to the pool. A wine cellar, workshop and abundant storage complete this level. Professionally landscaped grounds encompass terraced lawns, stone walls, gardens and mature plantings providing a stunning backdrop for play and gatherings while Town center, conservation trails and commuter rail service to Boston are minutes away.
