FALMOUTH – Custom-built to the very highest standards of craftsmanship and design, this Donatello home inhabits an enchanting setting in the secluded Brookside neighborhood; and in fact, Meader Brook winds through the property’s 2.87 acres of light, picturesque woodland and elegantly landscaped, irrigated lawns and gardens.

Shingle-style, its cottage-character facade accented with bluestone, the immaculate, 2005 home epitomizes grace and comfort throughout its almost 5,000 square feet. Transoms, oversized windows, and French doors enhance the flow of light. Some ceilings are coffered; three-inch oak floors are gently walnut-stained. Off a grand, welcoming foyer – note the perfectly symmetrical curves of the landing above, and the balustrade at right – a stunning great room opens, presenting a gas fireplace at the far end, and a wall of built-ins on the right.

The kitchen is a dazzler, set off by a multi-purpose granite island, and equipped with a 48-inch Wolf gas range and double electric ovens, a massive SubZero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, and a two-zone wine refrigerator. And opposite the butler’s pantry, there’s a butcher-block baking center.

The open, sunken formal dining room, with fireplace, shares a gorgeous green view with the adjacent four-season sun room, which has radiant tile floors and a gas fireplace. Office/den, powder room, daylight laundry with storage, and a beautifully appointed guest suite complete the main level. (There’s a fourth fireplace in the lower-level’s unfinished family/exercise space.)

The second floor has its own office/reading room, with a built-in window seat. “Extras” include a sparkling home gym (equipment will convey) and a large, carpeted family/media/bonus room. Large bedrooms three and four are served by a Jack-and-Jill bath whose vanity has a makeup station, just  like that in the master bath – which is one element of a sumptuous suite whose lighted walk-in closet is more than 30 feet long.
