Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre in a private Chapel Pines setting, this expansive 4/5-bedroom Colonial offers exceptional space, privacy, and a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Abutting conservation land, the beautifully landscaped grounds create a peaceful retreat with rolling lawns, irrigation, an outdoor shower, and an impressive 27’ x 38’ bluestone terrace designed for outdoor entertaining. Inside, hardwood floors extend throughout most of the home, complemented by tile in the bathrooms, mudroom and laundry room. The spacious kitchen is beautifully equipped with an oversized island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, six-burner Thermador range, Thermador dishwasher, wine cooler, and informal dining area. The family room provides an inviting place to gather, while the gracious living room features crown molding, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room is equally well appointed with crown molding and a built-in china cabinet. Three wood-burning fireplaces—in the family room, living room, and lower level—bring warmth and character throughout the home.Upstairs, the exceptional primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious walk-in closet, beautifully tiled bath with soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower, and a private composite deck overlooking the lush lawn and peaceful natural surroundings. Additional bedrooms provide plenty of space and flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The finished, carpeted lower level offers additional living and recreation space along with the home’s third wood-burning fireplace, while a large unfinished basement area provides ample storage. A spacious walk-up attic offers even more valuable storage and future flexibility. Gas forced hot air heat and two mini-splits providing air conditioning and supplemental heat offer year-round comfort. A generous mudroom, two-car garage, paver driveway, seasonal water views, and convenient access to commuting routes complete this beautifully appointed home—a rare combination of space, privacy, and timeless character.
