Simply put, this home is a model of absolute perfection.

Drive up the quiet street and prepare to be transfixed by this home. High-end Hardie siding, charming shutters and classic gables all contribute to the home’s incredible curb appeal. Take the herringbone brick front walk and enter through the oversized warm, wood entry door to the spacious and sunlit Entry Foyer featuring gleaming hardwood floors and an incredible, graceful wraparound staircase. Move into the sundrenched Living Room boasting classic hardwood floors with a sumptuous bay of windows where the sunlight pours in. Dinner parties are a dream in the magnificent Dining Room featuring a coffered ceiling, exquisite wainscoting and hardwood floors laid in a herringbone pattern with a walnut inlay. The Dining Room connects easily to a fabulous Coffee/Wet Bar, equipped with custom cabinetry, a Bosch espresso/cappuccino maker and U-Line wine refrigerator. Whether it’s fixing your morning joe or crafting cocktails for friends, you will get immense use out of the bar area. Prepare to be dazzled by the outstanding Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen that is truly a work of art. Custom Omega cabinetry with an enormous custom island, dreamy quartzite countertops, Dacor/Bosch/Viking professional grade (2 dishwashers!) appliances and on-trend pendant lanterns make the Kitchen extraordinary. Storage abounds with extensive upper and lower cabinetry and a nearby dry goods Pantry. Enjoy your morning coffee in the serene Breakfast Area with beautiful views through sliding doors of the picturesque yard beyond. The Kitchen opens directly to the eye-popping Family Room, with its wood burning fireplace (with a gas lighter), beautiful built ins and a wall of windows bringing the sunlight in. A state of the art Mudroom, with custom cubbies with charging stations and its own double-sized Coat Closet, will ensure that all backpacks and sports equipment are neatly tucked away. An elegant Powder Room, with chic farmhouse tile, is conveniently located off of the Mudroom. Privacy abounds in the first level Home Office (or use as a Guest Bedroom Suite). A pristine 2-car garage rounds out the First Level.

When it’s time to retire for the evening, the stately wraparound staircase, with its dazzling oversized lantern light fixture, leads you to the spacious Second Level. Luxury abounds in the private and open Primary Bedroom Retreat with a soaring cathedral ceiling with rustic beams, a fireplace, light literally pouring in through the generous windows and two of the BEST custom California Closet Walk-In Closets. Enjoy a soak in the tub in the awe-inspiring Primary Bathroom complete with imported marble tile, a custom double vanity, and a huge shower with rain showerhead and multiple jets. Four additional large-sized bedrooms (2 are ensuite) are steeped in sunlight, include generous fully custom closets and include high-end baths with chic finishes. Ensuite Bedroom 3 particularly impresses with a vaulted ceiling, 2 Walk In Closets and a spa-like bath. Laundry is a pleasure in the top of the line Second Floor Laundry Room with custom built-in cabinetry, chic brushed gold fixtures/hardware and Whirlpool commercial front loader washer and dryer. And if that all wasn’t enough, take the staircase to the Third Level where the possibilities are endless. A Bedroom with a Walk In Closet, a Recreation Room/Tween Lounge and a gorgeous bath will make your house the envy of every teen around.

And there’s more…The massive Lower Level boasts a large Recreation Room with tile flooring, a Wine Cellar, a Bonus/Exercise Room, an incredibly swank Full Bath and a Utility/IT Room where all the home’s cameras and smart features are centered.

And it doesn’t end there. The home includes a flat, private yard with easy access from the Mud Room and Kitchen. An adjacent, quiet park only lends itself to more play space. Finally, this home boasts every “smart” feature imaginable (see extensive list below) meaning you can easily control cameras, thermostats, music and more from the touch of your phone.

Words truly do not do this home justice. 35 Gates is a dream home in every way and cannot be compared to typical new construction. Just minutes from top-notch schools, the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge, Fairmont Country Club, farmers markets, downtown Chatham shopping and restaurants and NYC transportation, this home must be seen to be believed!
