A truly exceptional, custom-built designer home offering a rare combination of privacy, elegance, and convenience! Set on five exquisitely landscaped acres, this stunning four-bedroom residence is within walking distance of UNH and downtown Durham, with the beautiful Foss Farm Trails and College Woods just a stone's throw away. Gracious, warm, and impeccably crafted, this remarkable home showcases extraordinary architectural details and timeless quality throughout. The open foyer welcomes you with a breathtaking cherry and bird's-eye maple staircase, while the inviting family room features soaring open-beam ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with custom cherry cabinetry and an impressive oversized island, offers the perfect gathering place for casual dining, entertaining, or additional workspace. A spacious butler's pantry adds both convenience and elegance. Thoughtfully designed spaces continue throughout, including a charming, window-enclosed octagonal den with flagstone flooring and views of shaded stone pathways, as well as a private lower-level office featuring a bookcase-flanked window seat and a beautiful two-sided fireplace. A generous mudroom with custom built-in cubbies and a second laundry area seamlessly blends practicality with thoughtful design. Every room and finish reflects the exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and care invested in this extraordinary home. Equally impressive outdoors, the beautifully landscaped grounds provide a peaceful, private retreat rarely found so close to town. Enjoy the best of both worlds with shopping, restaurants, and convenient access to Routes 4 and 125 and I-95 for commuters. Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, and Newmarket are an easy drive for dinner or shopping. Located in the Oyster River school district, this is a truly special opportunity to experience refined living in an incomparable setting.
