Description

Storied and evergreen, this treasured home has been cherished and meticulously maintained for generations. An American classic rich in history and loaded with architectural character, this beauty has been completely updated with the absolute finest fits and finishes, and has also been enhanced with a seamless new addition on the 2nd floor in 2010 that includes a 5th bedroom, jack & jill bath and 2nd laundry. Situated on a half acre heavily wooded site loaded with mature trees, plantings and lush landscaping, the setting is a haven with plenty of privacy. Enter the gracious foyer and be transported into a circa 1940 architectural wonder with its turned hardwood staircase, original pine floors spanning most of the interior, arched doorways, abundant crown molding, hefty original paneling, 3 stately fireplaces, built-ins and so many other lovingly restored details. Melding beautifully with this grand classic are state of the art updates, including a gorgeous, well equipped kitchen with period details, hand crafted Plain & Fancy cabinets with quartz tops, a walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, insta-hot faucet and GE Monogram appliances. The kitchen is open to a hearth room that exudes an elegantly casual warmth with its richly paneled walls, bowed window and inviting fireplace. Grand public rooms include an enormous living room with plentiful windows, a stunning fireplace with built-in cabinetry, and an expansive dining room with massive windows overlooking the gardens of the back yard. A sun drenched library/office with garden views and built-in bookcases lends a quiet place to reflect. The 1st floor master bedroom (totally renovated in 2017) is privately tucked into its own wing and includes a beautifully appointed bath with spacious dual head double shower, dual vanity, and 2 large closets. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, 2 of which share the new Jack & Jill bathroom, complete with a new laundry area. Bedroom 1 is in the new addition built in 2010, and has an enormous walk-in closet. Bedroom 2 also has a large walk-in closet plus a 2nd double closet. Bedroom 3 has its own bath across the hall and a spacious double closet. All bedrooms have beautiful pine flooring and lots of natural light. The wonderfully finished walk-out basement includes a cozy family room with a dry bar area and 3rd fireplace. A 5th bedroom is around the corner next to the sunny laundry room and full bath. Step out into the privacy of the back yard and enjoy the extensive landscaping, perennials and stately old trees. A spacious patio, enchanting playhouse and plentiful guest parking await next to the oversized 2-car garage. Outdoor entertaining is a joy in this huge shady space, which backs to neighboring side street back yards with no direct homes behind. 2 new Coleman furnaces and air conditioners were installed across several zones in 2020. A newly installed Sonos sound system, newer 72 gallon water heater, new plumbing fixtures in the powder room, and a new roof (roof in 2010) elevate this wonderful home with every modern luxury. The perfect marriage of timeless style, history and up to date improvements, this home presents a rare opportunity. Don't miss it!

    "Dogs are welcome and I have never seen one loose. Some people do not pick up their animals waste, which I think is very rude.. the “Dog Run” is not what is perceived on the pamphlets, it is very small fenced in area..so everyone just lets their dogs go on any grassy area"
