Divided into 5650 sqft on the first two floors, a finished 900 sqft daylight lower level, a 1575 sqft garage, and a 375 sqft utility room, it is a spacious home that leaves nothing to be desired.

Foyer:
This is a grand entrance, strikingly accented with a marble floor, dramatic staircase with maple railing and antique-nickel finish, soaring two-story ceiling, and an 8' mahogany door inlaid with glue chip etched glass and flanked by matching sidelights. For ease of cleaning, the chandelier can be raised and lowered via a convenient switch.

Dining Room:
Across the foyer is the exquisitely detailed formal dining room. The elaborate multilayered tray ceiling with medallion provides dramatic accent to a parquet floor, glue chip etched glass pocket doors, wainscoting and lofty chandelier. Easily accommodating both intimate candlelight dining and large dinner parties, the room conveniently adjoins the butler's pantry via another glass pocket door.

Kitchen:
Both elegant and functional, the immense gourment kitchen blends solid cherry furniture-style cabinetry with black granite counters and solid maple floors. Loaded with extras, it features a stainless espresso maker, double ovens, and five burner cook top from Miele. A unique Kitchen Aid built-in microwave coordinates with the design. Other appliances concealed in the cabinetry add to the kitchen's beauty, including a refrigerator and telescoping downdraft ventilation system from Thermador, a Jenn-Air warming drawer, and two Miele dishwashers.

A raised counter preparation island and large breakfast bar provide ample counter and cabinet space. Even more storage is located in the adjoining butler's pantry. In addition to matching cabinetry, it has a dumbwaiter providing easy access to the den below, an automatic vacuum pan integrated into the central vacuum, and space for a full-sized wine cooler.

Great Room:
A triple archway connects the kitchen to a sprawling great room via the granite-topped breakfast bar that can easily seat six people. Comfortable and upscale, this spacious room will allow several simultaneous activities to keep even a large crowd busy. It features a corner fireplace framed by custom cabinetry with a built-in 50" TV and surround sound system. A rear staircase leads to the second floor.

Easily accessible from both the kitchen and the great room is a spacious powder room. Contemporary styling blends with a splash of modern art in the raised crystal sink bowl, waterfall faucet, and sleek fixtures of this conveniently located room. Next to the staircase, a storage closet houses a centralized 16-port ethernet bridge with connections for cable modem, DSL, or internet phone service. French doors lead to the deck and the back yard.

Master Suite:
Filling the back of the house on the second floor, the master suite has space for oversized furniture with room leftover for quiet lounging. It features dual lighted walk-in closets which contain full-sized mirrors. A double-door entry to the 7-foot wide hallway heightens the feeling of grandeur while making moving a snap. The soft sage carpet continues into the hallway and other bedrooms.

Master Bath:
The adjoining bath is both breathtaking and wondrously functional. The 15' cherry double vanity with granite top has an excess of drawer space, with a raised hutch for additional storage and room for a flat panel TV. Bright and airy, this room features an enormous 2-person whirlpool tub and a granite corner shower with 2 shower heads, 8 body jets, and a Corian no-slip base.

Den:
The den can be a quiet retreat or the meeting place for the boisterous crowd watching the big game. It also houses the dumbwaiter to send groceries up to the butler's pantry when entering from the garage. The floor features travertine tile with an elegant pattern of multi-colored travertine diamonds.

Billiards Room:
This large room is ideally sized for a billiards table but would also make a perfect playroom. Overhead, there is a large octagonal medallion, indirect lighting behind large crown molding, and spot lighting built in all around the tray ceiling. On the floor, stunning travertine tile is highlighted by slate diamonds.

Full Bath:
Behind a pocket door in the den is a full bath that is convenient whether relaxing downstairs or coming in from a long day's work. The generous-sized stall shower can be used for clean-ups after outdoor work. Travertine tile with diamond accents highlights the entry, shower walls, and vanity top.

Second Master Suite:
A private rear corner of the home hides the first floor master suite. Perfect for elder parents, this spacious room connects to a lavish bath with a jacuzzi and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and accents. The vanity, with graceful bowl sink, is located in the outer bathroom.

Guest Suite:
Also located on the first floor is an additional suite that can easily serve as nanny, caregiver or guest quarters. The bedroom adjoins a private bath with river-rock accents over the bathtub and on the vanity backsplash.

Upstairs Hall:
From the foyer, walk up the 5-foot-wide maple stairway to a 7-foot-wide hallway that wraps around the foyer with elegant antique nickle balusters. Along the hallway, you will find a full bath, laundry room, and linen closet. Two zones of sconces light your way to a back staircase to the great room below.

For privacy in shared use, the hall bathroom has an inner room with tub and toilet and an outer room with a six-drawer vanity. It also features an enormous cabinet for storage of linens, toiletries and large items.

In the laundry room is a European-style washer that will both wash and dry clothes in a single operation. The Maytag drying center has a standard tumble dryer, but for more delicate drying, it also has an upper drying cabinet that shakes the wrinkles out of clothes. Gas and electric are available for any type of laundry appliance.

Exercise Room:
At the front of the house is a spacious room with a double-door closet. It can also be used as a bedroom, sharing the hallway bathroom. Three windows keep the room cheery and breezy.

Office:
A second spacious room at the front of the house would be a perfect office. With a walk-in closet, this room can also be used as a bedroom that shares the hallway bathroom.

Additional Upstairs Bedrooms:
All three bedrooms upstairs feature full baths, lighted, walk-in closets and double windows. Fixtures and decorative accents have been meticulously selected to add unique personality to each suite: one in wrought iron, another with satin nickel, and the last with porcelain and chrome. Tile highlights in the bathrooms include wrought iron filigree, gold glass diamonds, and roman terracotta.

Garage:
The 1575 sqft garage can hold six cars, or four cars with full access. A nearly silent opener drives the 18 ft door. The large utility room houses dual water heaters with recirculating hot water, the first-floor furnace, and central vacuum system, with room left for a workshop. Two panels neatly arrange power, security, telephone, and cable.
