The exterior offers a balanced and timeless appeal as a flagstone path winds through gardens and by a walled terrace to a rear patio, ringed by evergreens and tucked away for private al fresco dining and entertaining. The interior, redesigned and refreshed to connect the formal to the not so formal spaces, accomplishes this effortlessly with the result being a chic, easy-living and flawless floor plan. Thoughtfully, the owners were focused on retaining meaningful period details including richly stained hardwood floors, fluted mill work with star accents and original six-panel doors while adding important space and volume in an expanded stunner of a kitchen . A large flagstone floored Foyer bridges the garage and fourth bedroom & bath to main portion of the home. From this entry, take one step down into the spacious, fireside living room and windows are everywhere. A full wall of windows brightens with eastern exposure and continues into an intimate sitting room/office with three exposures of light an outside access to the walled terrace. Through a wide cased opening the formal dining room sits centrally to the kitchen and terrace sharing exceptional light and flow between these spaces.

The large sunny kitchen, positioned to access and take in views of the rear patio and gardens, features high ceilings, natural wood cabinetry, stone counters, Viking 6 burner cooktop and two wall ovens. An oversized seated center island provides plentiful prep and informal dining opportunity, while the breakfast table, set under a skylight, is the ideal spot for reading the paper or catching up on emails between meals.
Intentionally set away from busy family spaces find a cozy powder room and laundry with ample storage completing this level.
The second level features a dreamy master bedroom with updated en suite bath and generous closets, two additional bedrooms with baths and requisite storage for linens, luggage and everyday needs. An unfinished basement provides excellent primary storage.

Stylishly updated, beautifully appointed and diligently maintained. Offering the next owners more than can be appreciated through written description...Truly a must see
