3 E Mill Pl

Tucked at the end of a long private drive on a quiet street of just six homes off Lime Kiln Lane, this warm contemporary sits low and almost invisible from the road, surrounded by mature woods. The setting is the first thing you notice and the last thing you forget, with songbirds, deer, dappled light through the trees, and a wrap-around Trex deck that floats in the canopy like a treehouse. A walkway bridge crosses from the driveway to the glass French front door. Inside, the foyer's rear windows look out onto a small courtyard, giving the room an atrium feel. Recently refinished solid white oak floors, laid on a bias, run throughout the main level. From the foyer you step into the family room, which rises to a vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows, anchored by a gas fireplace and custom zebrawood built-ins. It opens directly to the kitchen, fully custom-built with matching zebrawood cabinet faces, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, an Asko dishwasher, and a Miele oven, combination oven, and warming drawer, a serious cook's kitchen that still feels warm rather than showroom. Formal living and dining rooms sit off the main living area. The primary suite sits on the main level with a picture window flanked by sidelights that frames the wooded view. The bath has radiant heated floors, a curbless shower, and separate custom lacquered vanities, with a large walk-in closet just off it. A powder room off the foyer and a combined mudroom and laundry with a second half bath round out the main level, totaling 2,412 finished square feet above grade. The walkout lower level adds another 1,949 finished square feet: a second family room with fireplace and wet bar, three bedrooms, an en suite full bath and a Jack-and-Jill full bath, a dedicated office, a mirrored exercise room with barres, and a large utility and storage area. Whole-house vacuum, generator, two HVAC systems, and a three-car garage round it out.
