Do not miss this stunning colonial in one of Madison’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Set on a meticulously manicured .58 acre corner lot on The Hill, 25 Cross Gates Road offers architectural detail, a desirable floor plan, and an outdoor oasis. The impeccable 2018 restoration, renovation and three-story addition to this home provides for luxury living and entertaining space to meet the desires of today’s lifestyle. The formal living room and dining room, each with bay windows, custom built-ins and wood-burning fireplaces, flank the welcoming foyer of this beautiful home. The true heart of this home sits just beyond across the rear of the house: an open kitchen/family space with a large center island, eat-in area, inviting family room with gas fireplace and French doors out to the rear stone patio. The den/office just off the family room is flooded with natural light with windows on three sides. The butler’s pantry positioned between the dining room and kitchen includes a sink, ice maker, beverage fridge and two drink drawers. The custom-fitted mudroom with two coat closets and second powder room completes the first floor. The second floor hosts five bedrooms: the master suite has two custom closets and a marble bathroom with double vanity and over-sized walk-in steam shower. There are four additional spacious bedrooms on this floor, plus two additional bathrooms and the laundry room with sink and ample storage. Option to use the 5th bedroom and neighboring full bath as a suite accessed by the back staircase. The lower level offers a recreation room with wet bar, a playroom, a half bath, a 300-bottle wine closet, and ample storage space. The second mud room just steps down from the first floor mud room has a pet shower, second laundry room and additional storage space. Step into the private backyard retreat, where meticulously designed hardscaping combines stonework and tailored plantings into a harmonious outdoor living space. Over 50 distinct species of plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers adorn the grounds, carefully curated and artfully arranged.
