Welcome to the home you've been waiting for. Nestled in one of the most sought-after areas of the North Shore, this stunning residence offers the perfect blend of nature and luxury. Located on the secluded Braeside Lane-once prized as horse country-this newer, custom-built 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate sits on 1.2 acres of professionally landscaped grounds, complete with a 3-car attached garage. Step through the elegant etched glass double doors into a breathtaking two-story foyer, where a grand bridal staircase sets the tone for the sophistication found throughout. The main level boasts hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, and an open-concept design that seamlessly connects each space. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, featuring sleek Birdseye maple lacquered cabinetry, granite countertops, a matching backsplash and island with seating for six, and top-tier appliances including a KitchenAid refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher, and a Thermador 4-burner range. A walk-in pantry and built-in desk add functionality, while the sun-drenched breakfast room offers direct access to the multi-level cedar deck-perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the expansive family/great room impresses with 13-foot vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows, a granite bar, and custom built-ins surrounding a wood-burning/gas fireplace. The formal living and dining rooms, each adorned with crown molding, provide additional space for gatherings. A main-floor bedroom with a full en-suite bath makes for an ideal guest or in-law suite, while a well-equipped laundry/mudroom with sink, closets, and exterior access completes the first level. Upstairs, 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths await. The luxurious primary suite overlooks the pond and boasts a private seating area, cathedral ceilings, and 2 walk-in closets. The spa-like primary bath is a sanctuary with heated marble floors, floating cherry vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower, and soaring cathedral ceilings. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the remaining two enjoy access to a shared hall bathroom. The fully finished walk-out lower level is a haven of versatility, featuring a large recreation room, wet bar, exercise room, sauna, additional bedroom, full bathroom, and direct access to the multi-tiered deck. Outside, the home's beautifully manicured grounds include a 5-foot black steel fence, an underground sprinkler system, and breathtaking pond views. The multi-level cedar deck-rebuilt just two years ago-provides a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. Built for efficiency and longevity, the home includes two 200-amp electrical panels, two 50-gallon water heaters, multi-zone HVAC, 2x6 construction with silent floor joists, low-E windows, and two sump pumps with battery backup. A brand new roof has just been installed with a transferable five-year warranty! Owner has spent significant amount improving the property!
