This home was designed and built by noted architect George Glover for his family in 1911 and is a serene and peaceful oasis. If you desire privacy yet need access to transportation and highways then this will be the place to call home! Note the custom built front door and lovely vestibule which leads you into a spacious foyer. Garden doors frame the fireplace in the living room and provide a wonderful view of the yard. If you like to entertain then you will surely appreciate the formal dining room with fireplace, wainscoting, bay window and adjacent pantry with floor to ceiling cabinets and the same fine granite countertops as in the kitchen. The oversize windows bathe the interior with natural light and offer wonderful views. This spacious home has room for the extended family or an au pair suite and includes two driveways. A must see.
