This large colonial in exclusive Kensington has 3400 sq. feet of living area and almost 2 acres of gardens, patios, and lawns. Don’t forget the large, heated two-story barn, with a woodworking shop and upstairs space for whatever hobby or interest you desire. A master woodworker built this home with custom amenities like built-in cabinetry, hardwood maple, cork, and cherry flooring. The living room, dining room, and kitchen have custom cabinets, granite counters, and a stone fireplace with a filigree wood mantle, making for a spectacular focus point. Crown molding, uplighting in the tray ceiling, and a walk-around-in closet create a dynamic design for the primary bedroom. All four bathrooms feature tile, custom cabinets, and granite counters. The three-season porch has walls of floor-to-ceiling windows to view your large deck and pool area. The Olympic pool is heated and has an electric elephant cover for safety. The finished bottom floor features a professional wine cellar, sauna, full bath, workout room, hot tub area, and tiki bar connecting the pool area to the house. This home has many special features and is perfect for indoor and outdoor entertaining. Feel like you are at a 5-star resort in your own home. Centrally located, Kensington is the perfect location for commuting to Boston on the Amtrak or playing at the ocean. Open house Friday 7/7 from 4-6 & Saturday 7/8 from 10-12.
