Enduring design, exceptional craftsmanship, and abundant grandeur define this distinguished estate at the top of Shalimar Way. Brick pillars frame the newly paved circular driveway while a pristine paver walkway, meticulously maintained landscaping, and classic fencing surround the 12,438-square-foot brick residence with heated five-car garage, set on 2.61 acres. The grand main entrance opens to a two-story foyer with marble floors, a walk-in coat closet, and an elegant guest bath. The foyer leads to a formal living room and dining room on either side, both featuring exquisite crystal chandeliers and marble wood-burning fireplaces. The first floor also offers a comfortable sitting room and a spacious family room with an additional fireplace. The expansive kitchen includes generous counter space, a large pantry with built-in cabinetry and an additional refrigerator, as well as access to the rear deck. A nearby hallway connects to the five-car garage, laundry room, back staircase, and attached greenhouse. Completing the level is a dramatic two-story office/library with a custom spiral staircase and built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, the lavish primary suite features a private balcony, bonus room, sprawling walk-in closet, luxurious bath, and access to the back hallway connecting to the two-story office/library. Four additional bedrooms and three full baths complete the second floor. The finished walkout basement adds an additional 4,000 square feet of living space with a full kitchen and bar seating, full bath, two bedrooms, hot tub, flexible recreation or gym space, and dedicated mechanical and utility areas. Five newly installed furnace and air-conditioning systems, three humidity-control systems, six Nest systems, dual central vacuums, and a backup generator support year-round comfort and reliability. Outdoor amenities include a newly rebuilt multilevel deck with lighting and an outdoor oven, patio, tennis court, and Gunite pool. Located in the award-winning Fayetteville-Manlius School District, less than 10 minutes from Fayetteville or Manlius, 15 minutes from downtown Syracuse, and 20 minutes from Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
