With the hallmarks of superior style, quality selections and truly no space, surface or detail left unconsidered, 301 Berkeley represents the best in its class for new construction.Set on a 1.1-acre lot on a serene, residential street, walking distance to Devon Yards and in the stellar TE school district, find this welcoming yet impressive 5-bedroom, 4 and 2 1/2 bath stone colonial built by Babiy Construction.Difficult to distinguish from neighboring homes built in the 1900 s, the substantial stone exterior is enhanced by mahogany entry door, harlequin front windows and standing seam roof detailing. A flag and field stone path leads to a rustic brick entry which steps up to wide foyer offering views to the rear covered blue stone terrace with glimpses of the Dining Room, extraordinary Paneled Library and formal Living Room. Highlighting the builder s ability to deliver exciting but exacting craftsmanship, each of these spaces is uniquely detailed. The Dining room invites with an elegant fireplace and exceptional ceiling detail while the library showcases floor to ceiling millwork, a wood-burning fireplace and connection to a stone floored Bar or Solarium styled Office with views of the rear yard, gardens and stream. Positioned centrally for ease of entertaining and superior flow, the Living Room connects to the Foyer, terrace, Kitchen and Breakfast Room, making it a space that is at home for formal as well as daily enjoyment. An all-white kitchen with sparkling white marble backsplash is an exceptionally crafted, truly custom furniture quality installation. A blue toned island offers a fresh appeal while the warm wood toned butler s pantry, steps away from the dining room, provides large flat prep and service space with custom wine, linen and stemware storage. The combination of natural wood trusses in a volume ceiling, a large wood burning fireplace with reclaimed stone mantle and intricate windows creates a family room that offers great light, warmth and drama.At the top of the stairs an almost ethereal Master Suite is the height of sophistication with a white stone bath offering under window soaking tub, seated shower, individual vanities and his and her closets. A bright sitting room leads to the Master Bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a full wall of windows and gas fireplace with white millwork surround.Four additional family/guest bedrooms, two with en suite baths and two which share a jack and jill bath, enjoy an open second level family room and access to the rear stair. Acknowledging every home s need for storage and a time spent in the laundry, a large bright well-designed laundry is positioned off the backstairs just above a custom outfitted mudroom and first level family entrance. The quality, thoughtful and varied nature of the interior selections coupled with their superior execution runs contrary to the vanilla box that is almost expected in spec home building today. This home exceeds all expectations. ** This home has been virtually stage**
