Imagine yourself living in the desirable Bedford Corners gated community of Penwood Estates. This
Colonial home is sited on over 11 acres of private, park-like property, yet conveniently located minutes
from the train station and all commutable highways. First time on the market since its construction,
the home features a grand entrance with views of the flagstone patio and spacious back yard. The
chef's kitchen features a Viking gas range, huge granite island, butler's pantry and eat-in area.
Perfect for entertaining, the open flow from kitchen to family room make hosting a party a breeze.
Consider working from home with a large office that has peaceful wooded views. The generously sized
master suite with walk-in closets also has a separate sitting room. There is a back staircase to large
game room or Au Pair suite. The unfinished walk-out lower level provides tremendous future space
with 9-foot ceilings and a wine cellar. Once you visit this beautiful home, you will not want to leave.
