Description

Behind handsome black estate fencing, a circular drive leads to this gracious 3-4 Bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath stone Colonial, crowned with a slate roof and surrounded by English gardens that bring color and charm throughout the year. Thoughtfully renovated down to the studs, the home pairs timeless character with beautifully updated spaces. A welcoming flagstone path surrounded by lush greenery accesses the beautiful center hall entrance foyer that highlights original refinished hardwood floors w/ inlay and graceful flared staircase announce the elegant and inviting main level. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen that is designed for both everyday living and grand scale entertaining, with white-painted maple cabinetry, soft-close drawers, open shelving, under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, a glass-tile backsplash, and a full suite of professional-grade appliances. A charming window seat and abundant storage add warmth and practicality. The kitchen flows naturally to the formal dining room and to a large private Trex deck—an ideal setting for alfresco dining with views of the lush gardens brimming with color to highlight the seasons. In the formal living room, a bay window frames the serene rear grounds, while a gas fireplace creates a welcoming focal point. The adjoining family room offers extensive built-in cabinetry, garden views, and its own mini-split system to ensure year round comfort. A thoughtfully appointed powder room features a granite-top vanity, basket-weave flooring, and a most charming stained-glass window. Upstairs, the original hardwood floors and deep-set windows lend character to the landing. The primary suite enjoys windows on three sides, three closets, and recessed lighting. Additional bedrooms include an en suite with a tub-and-shower combination, floor-to-ceiling tile, and a walk-in closet. A newly finished hall bath accessed by the primary bedroom elevates daily routines with a double quartz vanity, designer lighting, natural stone radiant heated floors, and a glass-enclosed shower with a rain head and built-in bench. Laundry access is conveniently located on this level. The finished, walk-out lower level expands the home’s living space with a playroom featuring abundant built-ins, a gym or family room, a half bath, and generous storage. A large walk-up attic offers even more storage. Outside, the gardens are a destination of their own, with established perennials, spring bulbs, a fountain, private sauna, and children’s playhouse. The house offers updated replacement windows, updated multi-zone heating and central air conditioning, updated 200-amp electric ++.
