Description
Welcome to 20459 Troyer Lane — An Estate of Distinction Set on 4.5 acres of pristine, wooded privacy, this extraordinary residence masterfully blends timeless Colonial, French, and Manor-inspired architecture with the refinement of a 2023 renovation. The result is a one-of-a-kind retreat where heritage design meets modern indulgence — all just minutes from the conveniences of town, hospitals and beaches. From the grand two-story foyer, crowned by a hand-painted leather ceiling mural and illuminated by a chandelier that lowers effortlessly for care, every detail speaks of artistry and intention. Custom leaded-glass transoms, Brazilian cherry hardwoods, intricate wainscoting, and layered millwork establish a sense of elegance and permanence. The gourmet kitchen is a true culinary showcase: French Country cabinetry, expansive granite counters, and an oversized island with seating for five form the heart of the home. A full suite of chef-caliber appliances — Viking refrigerator & freezer, Dacor 6-burner range with pot filler, KitchenAid and Electrolux double ovens, and more — ensures performance to match its beauty. An airy breakfast room for 8–10 and a formal dining room, adorned with grasscloth walls and built-ins, complete the setting for both intimate and grand entertaining. The great room, soaring with two-story windows and anchored by custom built-ins and a stately fireplace, invites gatherings beneath dramatic natural light. A richly finished study, a guest half bath, and a full bath with garage access (designed with future pool use in mind) enhance functionality. The primary suite on the main level is a sanctuary unto itself — with a tray ceiling, bespoke walk-in closet, private laundry, and spa-like bath featuring a steam shower with triple heads, infinity whirlpool tub, stone vessel sinks, towel warmer, and secluded water closet. Upstairs, generously scaled bedrooms each enjoy ensuite baths and walk-in closets, with one suite offering its own sitting room or potential sixth bedroom. A secondary laundry ensures effortless living. The lower level extends the estate’s versatility with radiant-heated floors, a private apartment with kitchenette and separate entry, full laundry, and expansive storage. Seamlessly integrated outdoor living offers a four-season sunroom, enclosed patio, and extensive hardscaping with fountains, lush irrigation, and gathering spaces designed for year-round enjoyment. A sweeping circular drive leads to a three-car side-entry garage, balancing grandeur with practicality. Discerning upgrades provide peace of mind: 60-year roof, Pella windows, encapsulated crawl space with sump system, dual hot water heaters, whole-house generator (22 kW), EV charger, water treatment, and Bose surround sound throughout. This residence is more than a home — it is a statement of refined living, where timeless architecture, modern luxuries, and the tranquility of a wooded estate converge in rare harmony.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
