Completely rebuilt in 1999, this traditional Colonial residence once served as a carriage house to a neighboring property. Besides its numerous well-designed interior rooms, the refurbished, up-to-date home also offers an abundance of additional amenities, including a Wagner pool with Pebble-Tec floor and spa, expansive bluestone patio, outdoor dining area with all-weather electric awning and outdoor lighting. The slate-floored pool house is complete with its own high-ceilinged living room, gazebo-style dining room overlooking the pool, kitchen with custom cork ceiling and full bath with super-sized steam shower.

In addition to the library, the residence boasts a limestone-floored, two-story foyer, which greets visitors with an original fieldstone wall and a double-sided stone fireplace with floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the home’s carriage house heritage. Additional standout spaces include a living room with original fieldstone fireplace, French limestone floors and Venetian plaster walls; dining room with custom wax-finished walls and silver leaf ceiling; and oak-floored kitchen updated in 2013 with new appliances. On the second floor, the step-down master suite has Thompson silk-paneled walls, a gas fireplace, built-in bed and master bath with floor-to-ceiling marble, oversized Jacuzzi tub and steam shower. In total the home has six bedrooms with seven full and two half baths.

“This residence epitomizes what a dream homes is made of,” said Alper. “The exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous care put into the design of each room exudes nothing but sophistication, luxury and an undeniable glamorous appeal. This chic style is carried through to each and every room of the house, especially the library, which I like to describe as the ultimate in-home oasis—‘a view with a room’ that you will never want to leave.”

Additional features include three fireplaces, staff quarters and a three-car garage. For more information on the home, located at 11 Sky Meadow Farm, visit the firm’s website here.
