About this home
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 above-grade 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.
