This is the home you have been waiting for. Imagine living in the heart of one of the most sought after areas of the North Shore surrounded by the perfect blend of nature and exquisite homes that continue to be built and expanded. Braeside Lane, tucked away off Voltz Road once valued as horse country, will welcome you as you arrive to your newer custom built 6 bedroom suite home with 5 1/2 baths and an attached 3 car garage located on 1.2 acres of professionally landscaped property. As you step inside & enter through the etched glass double doors, you are greeted into the 2-story foyer with a grand bridal staircase. Lavish the luxury throughout the main floor with hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings and an open floor plan that seamlessly flows from room to room. The fabulous kitchen is outfitted with Birdseye maple lacquered cabinets, granite surfaces, backsplash and island with seating for 4, a Kitchen Aid refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher and Thermador 4-burner range, walk-in pantry and desk area. Adjoining in the sun-filled breakfast room that overlooks the back deck you will enjoy easy access through the sliding glass door for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. Back to the heart of the home, is the expansive family/great room, featuring vaulted 13ft ceilings, floor to ceiling Palladian windows, custom built-ins surround a wood burning/gas fireplace and a granite bar. Further enhancing your entertaining options are the spacious living and dining room areas, both with crown molding. Making the perfect in-law suite or home office is the main floor bedroom with full bathroom. Finishing out the main floor is the laundry/mud room with sink, closets and exterior access. As you retreat to the 2nd floor, you will be enamored by the 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The primary suite which overlooks the pond also features a seating area, cathedral ceilings and 2 walk-in closets, as well as the primary bathroom with cathedral ceilings, custom floating cherry vanities, heated floors, marble surfaces, jetted tub and separate shower. Of the 4 additional bedrooms on this floor, 2 share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom and the other 2 have a shared hall bathroom. Continuing your journey through the home, we go to the walk-out lower level, which is the epitome of functionality and space. Completed with an exercise room, rec room, wet bar, sauna, bedroom and full bathroom, as well as access to the multi-level exterior deck. The exterior of the home is just as extravagant as the interior, sitting on 1.2 acres with pond views, underground sprinkler system, multi-level cedar deck (rebuilt 2 years ago), 5ft black steel fence and impeccably maintained landscaping. Built for comfort and convenience, the home has (2) 200 amp electrical panels, (2) 50 gallon water heaters, 40 year asphalt roof, multi-zone HVAC systems, 2x6 construction with silent floor joists, low-E windows and 2 sump pumps with battery backup.
