HOME DESCRIPTION

Once you enter Barclay Woods and wind down Newton Place to the end of the cul-de-sac, you will arrive at this exquisite private colonial built by Creighton. Exceptional, mature landscaping to the rear and new custom landscaping in the front surrounds this 7,000 SF home of impressive craftsmanship. Fine detail throughout the home complements the major upgrades in this expertly crafted 5-bedroom, 4-full baths & 2-half baths design. This home has front and rear staircases to the upper level and a staircase and elevator to the lower level -- A superb floor plan with a wonderful flow for those who only want the very best!

Unique to this neighborhood, hand carved Mahogany double doors, imported from Peru, greet you at the entrance. Entering, you are in the dramatic 2-story marble foyer with a Schonbek chandelier (motorized for convenient cleaning), access to the family room straight ahead and stairway up; the dining room and formal living rooms are to the left and right respectively – each featuring hardwood floors and decorative niches. An alcove with French doors leads from the living room to the sunroom where oak-framed marble inlays meet three walls of sun-filled glass opening to the surrounding woods. Another set of French doors in the sunroom lead to the library with a wall of floor to ceiling built-in book cases for the avid reader.

From the library we exit through another set of French doors to the hallway, a half bath to our left and another set of French doors directly across into the Living Room. The hallway leads us to the octagonal step-down family room that has a 10-foot ceiling, exquisite crown molding that coordinates with the dramatic ceiling fan, and access to the rear deck.

Just above the family room is the breakfast area and a second access to the rear deck that backs to full woods concealing a babbling brook. Adjacent to the breakfast area is the Chef’s kitchen with granite tops, gas cook top island, elaborate moldings, custom cabinets with built-in wine rack, and a huge walk-in pantry that has it’s own closet.

Traversing the butler’s pantry takes us to either the elevator (to the lower level),or to the large formal dining room with custom decorative niche, dual doors toward the family room and a large archway adorned with columns leading back to the foyer.

Up the stairway leads to the double-door, expansive master suite with 11+ft tray ceiling, full-wall bookcases, a double gas fireplace across to the sitting room, granite top wet bar and an unequalled custom master closet with additional storage/potential expansion area as well as two smaller storage areas. There is also a luxurious Master bath, with his and her marble counters/sinks, soaking tub and separate shower and dual linen closets.

The second bedroom across the hall has its very large closet space and dual entry full bathroom with secondary private sink annexed to the bedroom. The bedroom across the hall looks out onto the woods and also features a large closet. Also on this floor, is a large laundry room with raised washer and dryer for easy access, bountiful cabinet space, linen closet, and space for a personal valet.
The last bedroom upstairs has its own walk-in closet and private bath with a wonderful wall of windows to view the outdoors, as do all the bedrooms. This room also has a storage area that extends the width of the house. The room is located next to the art/game room which has a skylight, granite sink and extensive storage.

The rear staircase returns us to the main level. The first door to the right accesses additional storage; the second, the deep 3-car garage. An alcove to the left brings us to the Kitchen where in the butler’s pantry access to the lower level most convenient by the elevator. The huge walk-out lower level is replete with full granite wet bar, with separate dishwasher, recreation/fitness room with its own fireplace, sitting area near the stairs, another fireplace, and an In-law Suite that looks out to lush wooded lot. The adjoining bath is exceptionally large and designed to accommodate special needs.

This home is within a 5 mile drive for golfing, multiplex theaters and Harris Teeter grocery, yet secluded enough to be your private oasis!
