Property Description

Welcome to 117 Carpenter Lane, a truly remarkable Colonial Revival Estate with a rich history dating back to the early 1900's. Originally built for the family of Sydney L. Wright, a prominent banker, this quintessential estate exudes timeless elegance and modern luxury. With four finished levels, six bedrooms, and four and a half baths, this home provides an abundance of space and modern amenities. Notable features of the home include a striking circular staircase, lofty 10-foot ceilings, and exquisite maple flooring on the first floor, complemented by yellow pine on the upper levels. The current owners have taken great care to elevate this home to new heights, with substantial upgrades including a modernized whole-house electrical system (Lutron), efficient mini splits for heating and cooling, a new sewer line, and extensive landscaping including the addition of green house and gardener shed. Custom lighting throughout the home beautifully harmonizes the old-world charm with modern appeal. As you walk down the front brick walkway, you're welcomed by sitting benches and a Dutch door. Step inside the gracious foyer to be greeted by an elegant staircase, a center fireplace, and handsome mill work. Through the double doors, the living room, with its custom built-in bookshelves and handsome wood burning fireplace, sets a luxurious tone. Out the French doors, the covered patio offers a refined setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. The expansive formal dining room soaked in natural light, currently used as a dining room and family room sets the stage for future gatherings. The carefully curated eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring rustic Moroccan tumbled limestone flooring, complemented by top-of-the-line Wolf professional range/hood and oven, and Jenn-Air electric convection oven. The extra prep sink is an added bonus. The wrap-around raised deck off the kitchen offers ample space for daily enjoyment and entertaining. The back stairs off the kitchen adds an extra layer of functionality. Ascending to the second floor, the private master suite is a true retreat boasting a cozy fireplace and a spacious changing room. The captivating sun porch with radiant heat and elegant porcelain flooring leaves a lasting impression. The ensuite bath offers a dual vanity and glass shower. Across the hall is the second bedroom, complete with built-in drawers and an ensuite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub and glass shower. The third bedroom, located on the left wing, is perfect for guests, offering ample space and a private full bath for their stay. Convenience is key with the laundry room also located on this level. Venturing to the third level, you'll discover a spacious living area with three generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated hall bath, offering a world of possibilities for personalization. The modern finished lower level is a true haven for relaxation and entertainment, with ceiling heights ranging from 7'1" to 7'8". The state-of-the-art home gym features a built-in sound system for an enhanced workout experience. Enjoy the lounge area with a custom-built in bar and sitting area that is perfect for hosting friends and family. The family room, complete with a barn door offers generous space for movie nights or your next watch party. As you step into the fenced-in backyard, you'll discover a private paradise for gardening enthusiasts. The greenhouse is all set for your starter seeds, getting you ready for your next harvest. The standalone cedar gardener's shed offers versatility and convenience. The extensive raised garden beds and plantings are sure to leave you in awe.
