Description

Nestled on a breathtaking 6.85-acre wooded estate, 12420 Benson Branch Rd is a majestic 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom custom home spanning approximately 6, 657 square feet. Defined by its architectural integrity and stately Nantucket Colonial presence, the residence commands attention with its cedar & brick façade, and classic dormers. Inside, a sweeping floor plan is elevated by soaring cathedral ceilings, custom millwork, and bespoke carpentry. Radiating from the grand foyer is an elegant formal living room featuring a gas fireplace, concealed wet bar, and pocket French doors that close to create a private retreat. Across the entryway, a spectacular formal dining room awaits, complete with a second glowing fireplace, oversized windows, and extensive wainscoting. Transitioning seamlessly from the formal spaces, you enter a newly reimagined culinary masterpiece. The comprehensively remodeled gourmet kitchen is anchored by a massive center island, crowned by magnificent, coffered wood-beam ceilings, and fitted with modern ivory cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Step just off the kitchen onto a refined brick porch overlooking the lawn and wooded grounds. From the interior, the kitchen leads to elegant dual French doors which open into a light-filled sunroom, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the side garden. Serving as the heart of the estate, the sprawling family room features custom coffered ceilings, a gas stove fireplace surrounded by artisanal brick hearth, and extensive built-in library shelving. Completing the main level is an exceptionally large laundry suite, a half bath, and a bespoke mudroom accessed via a charming, covered porch that flawlessly echoes the home’s coastal heritage. Ascending the rear staircase, the upper level unveils a truly magnificent primary sanctuary. This palatial retreat flows effortlessly into a resplendent en-suite spa bath, centered by a sleek freestanding soaking tub, dual his and hers vanities, and large custom closets. Adjacent is a magnificent executive office wrapped in expansive windows, offering panoramic tree-lined views, extensive built-ins, and direct access to the primary suite. Rounding out the second level are three impressively spacious bedrooms connected by a convenient Jack and-Jill bathroom, plus an additional hall bath. The home’s uncompromising elegance extends to the private third-floor suite, a sprawling retreat featuring traditional dormer window seats, a pristine new en suite bath, and an exceptionally large cedar closet. Descending to the lower level, a sprawling, versatile recreation and media room provides boundless potential for a state-of-the-art home theater or personal fitness center. From the upstairs, a two-story gallery serves as the gateway to your private outdoor sanctuary. At the epicenter of this 6.8-acre oasis lies a spectacular solar heated in-ground pool and hot tub surrounded by a stamped concrete patio and upper sun deck that flawlessly completes the grandeur of this unparalleled estate. A three-car garage with additional storage space, large attic space ready to be finished into still more square footage if desired, and a purpose-built storage outbuilding complete the picturesque grounds, which are graced by formal gardens, sweeping flat lawns, and a commanding canopy of mature trees. A truly rare offering, this legacy, heirloom-quality property promises a lifestyle of elegance surrounded by beauty.
