This is the home you have dreamed about living in! Step away from the hustle and bustle and vacation at home everyday. This exquisite French Colonial home is the resort you've been yearning to find. A manageable 7720 sq ft with 4 bedrooms/4 full baths and 3 half baths/3 car garage is situated on 5 secluded acres high upon a hilltop, with a magnificent pool and spa! You can't recreate this home at this price. The main floor has warm hardwoods, a library, a dining room to accommodate 14, large eat in kitchen, a mud room anyone would love. A huge butlers pantry for your finest serving dishes and food items. Truly you can convert part of the pantry and mud room into a main floor bedroom area and still have room to hang coats! The family room is large with a big wood burning stove that can practically heat the house but it's best feature is the view. The family room is the window to the resort! Step outside to the absolutely perfect covered porch (Loggia). The loggia is solid brick and steel and overlooks the stunning pool/spa and patio. Sit out and relax after a long day with your drink and your dreams! The brick work is master crafted. The eat-in kitchen opens to your breakfast patio (note the chessboard in the patio). Start your day with your morning tea or coffee surrounded by gardens, meander through the loggia to the gardens on the other side and just take a short stroll to the European garden area. If you love relaxing outside, this is the home for you. Back inside you will find 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The primary suite wing and the secondary bedrooms on the other side. The secondary bedrooms have a shared bath, with one having a view of the pool area and the other with a Juliet balcony overlooking the European garden (affectionately called the secret garden area). There is a second floor family room or sitting area for games or tv. A LARGE laundry room is located on this floor as well. The primary suite is like no other you will find. Not only is the sleeping area large but the primary bath is oversized. The master sink island, walk in shower, claw foot tub and water closet are beautifully done with marble and tile. The primary suite also has a dressing area to ensure you start your day pressed and ready to go! The primary closet is 11x27 with built-in shoe shelves, dressers, and ironing board. Be careful you don't get lost in here! There is a second upper level with 2 built in beds, cedar closets, projection tv and screen, skylights, a kitchenette and a full bath. Perfect for a nanny, college student, or just impress your guest with their own private suite and floor. The basement has over $60K worth of travertine tile (no dripping on the carpet down here when coming in from the pool) and perfect game room area. There's room for games, wine, a gym, a full bath, and so much more. A second covered patio down here leads right to the spa and pool. The pool is a 20x40 beauty. With plenty of room for seating and entertaining, relax in either of the 2 gazebos on those hot summer days. There are 3 zoned Trane hvac systems, 2 water heaters and a 50 year roof. There is a propane generator. Don't miss the museum quality picture rail molding throughout the home. Perfect for your own Mona Lisa paintings. There is literally too much to list. Chessman Hill is surrounded by woods, and fruit trees. Stunning grounds really but an added bonus could be Paradise Springs Winery a mere 2 miles away! Old Town Clifton is just about 1.5 miles away. Grab dinner in town and a glass of wine to finish your day. Head home for for the evening swim! It's a resort you live in! #Checkmateyourhomesearch but do it quickly!!!! #whynotvacationathome
