Rural Hampton Falls provides the setting for this DeStefano Architect-designed, colonial-style fifteen-room, four-bedroom residence, sited majestically on a professionally landscaped 2.29-acre lot. A lush lawn, fenced gunite pool, and serene cul-de-sac location-shared with just three other homes-create a private retreat, all just minutes from I95, shopping, and local schools. From the moment you enter the circular driveway, it's clear this is an architecturally distinctive home. Striking double mahogany doors welcome you inside, where more than 750 square feet of bluestone-covered porches seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living, offering shelter from the elements and access to the garage and private office suites above. The two-story foyer showcases exceptional finish work and design detail. A generous formal dining room sits just off the epicurean-inspired custom kitchen, featuring hand-crafted cabinetry, a substantial island, and Subzero refrigeration. The home chef will appreciate the impressive 60" Garland range with six gas burners, griddle, double ovens, Salamander broiler, and a commercial-grade stainless steel hood with warming shelf. An outstanding butler's pantry with a farmer's sink and abundant cabinetry adds both function and charm. The kitchen's breakfast bar opens to a sun-filled breakfast room with built-in seating. The great room, complete with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, overlooks the rear grounds and heated pool. A luxurious first-floor primary suite offers a gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with an 8' x 4' steam shower. The richly appointed library, with its own fireplace and extraordinary millwork, is truly one of a kind. Located less than an hour from Logan International Airport and downtown Boston, this home offers an ideal commuting location while remaining just ten minutes from New Hampshire's beaches and historic downtown Exeter, and only twenty minutes from Portsmouth and Newburyport.
