Privately set behind an iron fence and circular drive, the home offers privacy and presence. A marble-tiled entry opens to a living room with 20-foot ceilings and limestone fireplace. The cherry-paneled library provides a retreat with double desks and bourbon bar. The kitchen and family room feature high-end finishes and open to terrace with fountain, stone patio, and outdoor fireplace.The primary suite includes cathedral ceilings, fireplace, and spa bath. Three additional bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms complete the home.Learn more here: https://701countrywayscituatema.com
