If first impressions are everything, then the foyer of this approximately 5,800 square-foot home certainly makes a statement. The sweeping spiral staircase draws the eye upward to a landing. The brick, laid in a herringbone pattern on the floor, echoes the exterior brickwork. Space beneath the staircase was transformed into a walk-in wine closet. Its custom wrought iron door matches the house's front doors.

The lower level of the home includes a formal but welcoming dining room that exudes hospitality.

Impressive sight lines are signature elements of this house. From the front door, guests walk down a long gallery and through two arches to the family room. Shades of terra-cotta and butter create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A high-backed sofa and plenty of comfy armchairs are arranged around the fireplace, the room's focal point.

The expansive granite-topped island takes center stage in the country- French styled kitchen. Doors conceal a pull-out recycling area and shallow adjustable shelving perfect for storing spices. Located in the rear corner of the first floor, a home off ice features a writing desk, sitting area and sewing nook.

Balancing masculine and feminine elements, the master suite has everything a couple wants — privacy, space and soothing décor. Luxuriously spacious, the master bath leads to a dream walk-in closet.

Designed as a casual play and relaxation space, the upstairs game room is a place that kids can call their own. In addition, the media room accommodates a flat-screen TV for movie buffs. This room features a snack bar and beverage center, along with a granite-topped bar.

A brick terrace defines an outdoor living room. An open-air kitchen and covered porch extend the living space to the garden. A brick fireplace makes the sitting area usable in all seasons. The cedar arbor houses an alfresco dining space. Outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy a stargazing garden with a natural stone water feature, a children's play area with soft border foliage, an herb garden and a perennial cutting garden.
