Every inch of this spacious yet cozy custom 10,946 sq foot home was designed with comfort in mind. Accentuated with Brazilian teak floors, the warm and inviting main level is flooded with natural light and has generous rooms throughout including a large kitchen (seating for 7 at the island plus a long window seat!) and breakfast room that open up to a striking family room with architectural ceiling and inviting fireplace, all of which overlook the expansive patio/fire pit and back yard. Enjoy your coffee or cocktail in the airy three-season room with a view of wildlife in the yard and your dogs running around in the attached fenced artificial turf area (20'x25' - no mud to track in!). You'll also find a large dining room, butler's pantry with beverage center, private home office, bedroom with full bath, and a generous mudroom which includes floor-to-ceiling enclosed lockers as well as a custom home organization station. The English lookout lower level with an extra-wide walk out to the back yard and radiant heated floors was recently finished and offers the ultimate in entertainment! The large open floorplan perfect for socializing features a sitting area with cozy fireplace, an open theater area designed to accommodate an 80"+ tv with generous seating space backing up to a gorgeous live-edge walnut seating bar, a billiards area and a dart board. The second kitchen/bar provides considerable storage in the custom cabinets, additional bar seating and counter space, and room for a full-size refrigerator and microwave so you don't need to leave the party to prepare the snacks! If you'd like to amp up the activity level, you'll find a gym with shock absorbent flooring as well as a basketball/volleyball court in the sub-basement. The lower level is rounded out with full bath and a 7th bedroom tucked away in a private hallway as well as a large storage room. The 2nd level of this home features 5 spacious bedrooms including the master bedroom/bath and 4 additional bedrooms, two with private baths and two with private vanities and a shared jack and jill shower/lavatory. An enormous multipurpose room can be used as a second great room, play room, theater room, e-learning space... the possibilities are endless! You might actually enjoy doing laundry in the HUGE laundry room with 2 sets of washers and dryers, long countertop, custom bins for sorting clothes before washing and custom open lockers to organize each person's clean laundry. No feature has been missed in this home! Hate shoveling snow in the winter? You'll love the snowmelt system in the driveway and front walk. Everyone likes different temperatures?

You can even see the attention to detail in the enormous 5 car garage which includes lots of storage, a dog wash area, garage door openers with an app to control from anywhere on your phone, double doors leading to the back yard, and extra depth, width and height!
