Park-like grounds feature lush perennial gardens, brick walkways, a tiered fountain, in-ground pool, pergola-covered patio with freestanding stone fireplace, and the original "outhouse potting shed. French doors open to an open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room w/radiant-heated floors, two-foot-thick exposed fieldstone walls, hand-hewn beams, and custom built-ins. The updated chef's kitchen offers granite countertops, a 9-foot center island, stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and pantry. A full bath with dramatic glass-enclosed stone shower and a vintage pedestal sink salvaged from the Metropolitan Opera House completes this level. The former sanctuary now serves as a stunning vaulted living space with floor-to-ceiling original stained glass windows, wide-plank pine floors, beadboard ceilings, chestnut moldings, and a soaring brick fireplace with custom built-ins. This level includes a guest bedroom and a recently added modern bathroom with glass-enclosed shower. Two staircases lead to the private primary bedroom loft featuring an antique iron railing, oversized dressing closet with hand-carved barn shutter doors, and access to a full-length unfinished attic. Energy-conscious with discreet solar panels.
