516 Sheridan Road

Tucked peacefully on 1.25 acres down a meandering wooded drive, architect, Celeste Robbins created a modern home with timeless warmth. Inspired by coveted natural formations found in the area, the home celebrates the beauty of a private ravine on one side and a sunny lawn and terrace on the other. This singular 5 BR/5.1 BA home holistically integrates architecture, interior design and landscape in a space which feels nestled with nature, yet lives steps away from town and the beach. Sensitive to its surroundings, expansive walls of windows intimately engage with the surroundings and reduce the visual impact. This glassy exterior is gracefully composed within a facade of stucco and architectural stained wood panels allowing nature to be the focus. Notably, the exterior wood has the precision of cabinetry. The beautifully stained oak wood became a language that threads its natural warmth through the home. Custom windows are framed in stunning-stained oak with crisp detailing that lends its own architectural sensibility. Upon entry is an exceptional floating stair hall with reflecting pool just beyond - complete with koi fish and lily pads. The double height space has a powerful feel to welcome you into the home, but the wall-to-wall glass living room is the real showstopper - where the woodland scene seems to knock on the windows and invite nature's timeless artistry into the room. On the other end is the family room and kitchen with light cabinetry and views of the sunny lawn and expansive backyard surrounded by mature trees. A large island anchors the room while two large sliding wood panels conceal ample storage space to hide dishes and small appliances. The life of the home is here with cooking, lounging and eating both inside and out to a terrace that sparkles with the light and sound of the reflecting pool. A four-foot wide sliding door pockets away for a seamless connection in a home that encourages outdoor living. Adjacent to the kitchen and intentionally located amid the trees are the serene 1st floor guest suite and a private office. A recessed exterior door and screen flanks the central hallway with an incredible focal point mirror at the opposite end of the home. 2 mudrooms- one in the attached 3 car heated garage (with 2 electric chargers) and another "invisible" mudroom strategically designed behind walls of cabinetry off the garage. Up the floating staircase is the luxurious and peaceful primary suite with a private balcony. The show-stopping primary bathroom and dressing room is wrapped with walls of closet storage plus a large island with drawers. A large suspended mirror acts as a room divider while panoramic views convey a feeling of living in nature. Two additional en suite bedrooms feature their own respective curated lounging nooks and share an Ipe balcony that extends the length of the back of the house providing expansive views of the backyard and gardens. The lower level offers recreation of all kinds with soaring ceilings including a wonderful media and game room, large laundry room, a 5th BD/exercise room, full bath, sauna, wine cellar and ample storage space. Providing an idyllic outdoor lifestyle with natural and wooded terrain on one side for walks through the ravines plus wonderfully landscaped gardens with a sophisticated bluestone patio surrounding a generous play yard of grass. This breathtaking oasis offers an exceptional retreat both inside and out, ideally located just a short walk from the beach, town, train, shops and parks.
