Jawdropper of the Week: An Elegant Estate Home in Newtown

You probably won’t get cabin fever on a rainy day in a home like this one.

That’s because, for starters, you could probably fit about a dozen cabins in this spectacular one-of-a-kind home from Mack & Roedel custom builders in Newtown’s Ely Farm subdivision. Then there’s what you’ll find in all that space. With plenty of room to relax and custom-designed spaces for entertainment, work and other activities, you can follow your fancy wherever it leads you.

Did we say fancy? This generously sized home may look like a traditional farmhouse on the outside, but inside, it’s clearly to the manor born: there’s not a single room in this home that doesn’t exude elegance, starting with the lovely center hall entrance foyer with its tray ceiling above and Brazilian cherry wood flooring below.

Off the foyer on either side are the formal living and dining rooms. The living room is flooded with natural light from its large windows, and the dining room is designed and outfitted to give your guests the royal treatment, with raised-panel wainscotting and a large butler’s pantry with wine fridge adjoining.

Off the living room is one of those custom-designed spaces: the billiard room, whose coffereed ceiling and walnut paneling gives it a clublike air. That feeling extends into the library and office space behind the billiard room, where a wet bar and fireplace add to the atmospherics.

Across the light-filled center hall from the library are a kitchen and breakfast nook that put a rustic spin on the elegance. A Wolf gas range, warming, fridge and freezer drawers, custom cabinetry and generous granite-topped counter space make cooking a joy, and the table seating around the generous center island lets you make it a show for your guests if you wish. There’s also a desk area for your household work. The breakfast area offers a splendid view of your private oasis in the back — a bluestone-paved landscaped terrace and pool.

Past the kitchen is the grandest space of all: a great room whose soaring two-story-high chapel-beamed coffered ceiling takes your breath away while its stone fireplace and warm wood bookcases invite you in.

The second floor provides a main suite with a sitting room, two walk-in closets and sumptuous bath, two bedrooms with en suite baths, and two bedrooms that share a bath. There’s also a guest apartment on this floor with its own kitchen and fully ADA-compliant en suite bathroom.

Down below you’ll find an entertainment and game room with full bar, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a home gym, a full bathroom, plenty of storage space and an outdoor spa area with hot tub.

Not a fan of stairs? Rainy day causing your bones to ache? This one-of-a-kind home features many unique elements to make getting around and doing your household chores a little bit easier, including an elevator to take you to all three levels, a laundry chute, a water softener and an audio system embedded throughout the entire house.

All of this is situated at the summit of a four-acre hilltop lot.

With a space this big with so many options, not only will you not get bored if you’re stuck at home, your friends will probably want to join you.
