From the curved lane you'll notice the fully mature landscape, and balanced three part structure: a dormered central entrance hall, flanked by two graciously-scaled gable-roof wings. Step inside the classic front portico entrance: your immediate impression is one of uncluttered good taste and five star quality – abundant proportions, high ceilings, solid wood oversized doorways, flawless dark oak floors and impeccable detailing.

The living room is breathtaking – warm, yet scaled to comfortably accommodate impressive social events. Recessed lighting is entirely contemporary. Radiant floor heat eliminates extraneous detail: nothing interferes with impressively high baseboards and well-scaled plaster moldings. Mullioned windows on three sides are deeply recessed in extra-thick high-insulation walls - contributing to the sense of solidity and quality. In fact, abundant insulation creates a perceivable quiet throughout this home, plus a noticeably comfortable-draft free environment that's also extremely energy efficient.

Off the main floor living room step down to an all-season south-facing sunroom, set well back from the main house façade. With light, height, privacy and landscaped green views this bright space is destined to be a favorite private retreat.

The central east-facing dining room projects out from the back of the house to command a view of the rolling grounds and towering mature trees - a style of landscape characteristic of Rockcliffe's finest homes. The dining -room's scale is epic: a space easily capable of accommodating your prized antique Georgian dining table and stylishly feting your entire board of directors. Yet elegant proportions and mullioned windows on three sides will always make this space feel comfortable and appropriate - even for intimate family gatherings.

The ground level north wing is configured in an open kitchen and family room arrangement that completely succeeds as a welcoming space for family-and-friends. The kitchen is takes its warm character from the cherry-wood topped island and is bathed -- like all rooms in this house – with tasteful contemporary lighting. Elite quality appliances include a six-element gas range, side-by-side fridge with cabinet-style doors, under counter wine cooler, and two drawer Fischer Paykel dishwasher –all ready to handle any culinary requirement. Practical features abound, including a full height pull out pantry. The adjacent family room is scaled for pure comfort, and anchored around a gas hearth set between mullioned windows.

Upstairs the theme of timeless good taste and unassailable comfort continues. You'll notice the high doorways with their solid wood fire-code doors, the superb finish and features of both the master and main baths – the rich marble, elegant recessed bath and glazed shower, the separate toilette and convenient laundry.

The master suite is completely charming. A dramatic bedroom nestles under the dormered ceilings of the south wing, and features deep-set accent windows and a comfortable sitting area. Two walk-in closets and a sumptuous master bath complete a tranquil retreat designed and situated for maximum quiet and privacy. Three other bedrooms on the second floor are ready to meet a variety of family needs. A large children's room and a fine guest room with direct access to the main bath occupy the north wing. A smaller bedroom currently serves as office space.

Down the stairs to the basement level you'll discover a broad flagstone-surfaced hallway leading to French doors for seamless access to the flagstone backyard patio area. Off this hall a private, self-sufficient suite is outfitted to suit grandparents, older children or valued guests. The suite has its own mini kitchen, plus direct access to a full bathroom. Across the hall a full sized exercise room stands ready for all your fitness gear. This nicely finished space could easily be repurposed as a refined den.
