At 4.69 acres with a 1/4 acre pond, the property provides a natural , private setting on which to enjoy many types of birds and other wild life, with plenty of room to roam. The current owners completely renovated this home with attention to detail and classic finishes. Beautifully refinished wood floors, deep window sills, stately but comfortable rooms, 3 working fireplaces, Pella Architect windows throughout. A spectacular, renovated sunroom, with a flagstone floor and radiant heat overlooks the pond which is stream-fed and home to many birds and other wildlife. The kitchen is complete with custom cabinets, lovely granite countertops, Subzero refrigerator, and Thermador, six burner stove. Adjoining is the laundry room, with original, refurbished cabinets for lots of pantry storage; and the sun-filled, breakfast room with flagstone floor and radiant heat. Note the elegant, custom stained glass in the breakfast room and also in the hallway. Take the back staircase off the kitchen, or the main staircase in the center hall, to the second floor, where you will find a wonderful ensuite master bedroom, including a dressing room and walk-in closet, as well as access to an outside porch overlooking this beautiful estate. There are 3 additional bedrooms, one quite large with a fireplace, that is currently being used as a family room. The hall bath has been beautifully refinished with built-in cabinetry, waterworks tile and radiant heat. Plenty of storage in the hall closets with original molding and brass door knobs (and don't miss the laundry shoot!) The third floor contains two more large bedrooms and a refinished bathroom. The basement with outside access through bilco doors, is partially finished and currently being used as office space, with the remainder providing lots of extra storage space. On the exterior, the roof was replaced with a slate roof, gutters were replaced with copper gutters, shutters were replaced with custom period shutters. The lovely brick patio, surrounded by a fenced-in area is great for outdoor entertaining. Beautifully landscaped, this property provides endless opportunity for use, including the option to subdivide. Quiet and secluded but conveniently located right down the street from the library, the park, the pool and Keswick Village. Walking distance to the train for easy access to the city. This is truly a unique home on a unique property.
