Property Description

Nestled on a private, meticulously landscaped 1.4-acre lot, 611 Oak Knoll Drive presents an exceptional blend of classic elegance and modern amenities. From the moment you enter, abundant sunlight floods 4,300 sq ft of living space with natural light, creating an inviting ambiance for both grand entertaining and intimate family gatherings. The heart of the home was completely transformed in 2018, unveiling a gourmet kitchen and first floor that create an open concept in a traditional home that has seamless flow into every living space. Sleek quartz countertops and high-end cabinetry frame top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, all anchored by an oversized custom island that connects the adjacent family room. Custom millwork and direct access to the rear terrace ensure effortless indoor-outdoor living. An integrated Sonos audio system fills the home and outside entertainment area with rich sound. Upstairs, the serene primary suite boasts dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath overlooking lush garden vistas, while four additional bedrooms, along with a multi-use optional office or nursery, each enjoy abundant light and garden vistas. Below, 1,536 sq ft of finished basement provides versatile space for a media theater, fitness area or home office. Outside, a vast bluestone patio invites al fresco entertaining under a pergola-shaded living area complete with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and stone fireplace-ideal for warm summer evenings or cozy gatherings by firelight. Mature specimen plantings, an in-ground irrigation system and subtle landscape lighting ensure year-round beauty and ease of maintenance. The backyard is equipped with a large firepit perfect for cool evenings as well as a sports court for basketball, pickleball, and more. Recent updates include a new roof (2017) and comprehensive mechanical upgrades, delivering true peace of mind. Ideally located in a sought-after enclave with top schools and commuter routes just minutes away, this family home offers an unparalleled lifestyle of privacy, living space and enduring character.
