WESTBOROUGH – This elegant 5,701-square-foot contemporary is nestled on more than an acre of lushly landscaped property that offers both privacy and a resortlike backyard.
The four-bed, five-bath home at 4 Gable Ridge Road is listed with Michael Mathieu of Sotheby’s International Realty for $1.625 million.
“For my favorite feature, I like the home’s openness and the two-story family room that you can see when you walk in the front door,” Mathieu said.
Homeowners Mark and Angela Callery said they favor its “versatility.”
“Whether for 50 or five, it is spacious and grand, yet intimate and inviting,” Angela Callery said. “So many design features bring the outside in, enhancing its grace and warmth.”
Those design features include interior and exterior transom windows, front door window lights, skylights and full walls of windows throughout. Its picture-frame and dentil crown molding and smooth tapered columns add to its grace.
It begins in a two-story, chandelier-lit foyer with a bridal staircase leading to a balcony that overlooks the great room and the landscaped yard beyond.
The front of the house holds a formal living room and a dining room that features a chandelier, serving alcove and a picture-perfect bank of windows overlooking the professionally landscaped front yard.
The dining room is connected by a French door to a butler’s pantry that opens to the kitchen.
Lots of natural light from skylights and transom windows brighten the cook’s kitchen that holds banks of cherry cabinets and stone countertops, a center island with breakfast bar and an informal dining area.
The family room features walls of glass with views of the yard, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a cathedral ceiling paneled in pine with open beams, a wet bar and atrium door to the deck.
Two stories of glass overlooking the backyard light the great room and its majestic fireplace, wet bar and built-in cabinetry and shelving.
A den with built-in bookshelves completes the first floor.
The second floor holds the master bedroom suite that offers a sitting room, dressing room, and spalike bath with jet tub and large walk-in shower.
Three other bedrooms and a laundry room are also located on the second floor.
A heated, finished basement has a recreation space and pool room with rich cherry paneling.
The backyard is a private oasis with its heated inground pool, hot tub, garden waterfalls, and a raised entertainment area under a pergola. A perimeter of mature trees ensures privacy, while a stone wall set into tiers of lush landscaping and the trickle of a waterfall make for a tranquil escape in nature.
