The gourmet Kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with a Blue Star six-burner range, stainless farm sinks, granite island, and breakfast nook with copper-topped windowsill. Nearby, the Butler’s Pantry and oversized three-car Garage add everyday convenience. The Primary Suite is a sanctuary tucked at the end of the upper-level hall, complete with two walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, dual vanities, skylight, and an adjoining Office Study with fireplace and custom cabinetry. Four additional bedrooms on the lower level provide ample space for family, guests, or au pair, with one suite offering exterior access and a private bath. At the heart of the home is the spectacular indoor Pool—visible from many rooms—anchored by skylights and south-facing doors, and flanked by a Sauna, Steam Shower, Bar, Wine Cellar, and Billiard Room with brick fireplace. Outside, enjoy peaceful woodland views from the elevated Deck, garden paths, the delightful coy pond with waterfall and tranquil sitting areas. A Party Barn, charming Tree House and small stable complete this idyllic estate. With geothermal heating and cooling, a whole house generator, lush landscaping and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout, 7 Bittersweet Drive is a rare opportunity to own a true lifestyle property that balances serenity, space, and sophistication.
