Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 19, 2024
Stepping into this grand home is like returning to a more gracious era, when political opponents still came together at the end of the work day to enjoy each other's company over cocktails and dinner. Its magnificent two-story foyer, with an impressive curving stair to a second floor overlook, its large common rooms, and terraced garden with pool -- all work in concert to create the perfect backdrop for entertaining on a sumptuous scale. On the entry level is a banquet-sized dining room, a sweeping living room with fireplace, a wood-paneled library, a sunroom opening to the terrace and a large eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry. Upstairs is an owners' suite with a sitting room and large bedroom with separate "his and her" baths and dressing areas, plus two additional bedrooms and baths. The third floor has two more bedrooms and another bath; the lower level has a family room, office with full bath, a bedroom with its own bath, and laundry. An elevator serves the lower three levels, and there is a private driveway with a spacious two-car garage.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen we first came to this school, we didn't speak Spanish well. Now, we are fluent and we know a lot more than we used to. Oyster Adams helped us to this. It is such a good school that supports its individuals such as parents, teachers, staff, and of course, students. We think that Oyster-Adams is an extremely welcoming community that really cares for and lifts us up and beyond what we thought was possible while keeping us in our comfort zones. I would totally recommend this school to any who would like a welcoming community that also speaks Spanish.Student Review4mo ago
