Surprisingly spacious; this exquisite stone-and-brick Cape truly has it all. Equally suited for elegant entertaining, casual gatherings, and comfortable everyday living, the home offers exceptional warmth and functionality.

The generous living room with fireplace and adjoining dining room open to a private, level garden, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. The spacious kitchen and family room, anchored by a fireplace, provide the comfortable gathering space every home needs. Between the foyer and family room is a convenient wet bar or butler’s pantry with sink, along with space for a breakfast or game table.

Also on the main level is a perfectly situated office or library with custom built-ins and an adjoining solarium. A discreetly located powder room is tucked just off the foyer.

Upstairs, the dramatic primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, a beautifully renovated bath with double vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a renovated hall bath, and a large roof terrace complete the second floor.

The nicely finished lower level offers a generous recreation room with a handsome stone fireplace, an additional bedroom, a new full bath, a laundry room, and direct access to the two-car garage. Ample storage space is also available.

The lovely rear garden is exceptionally private and features multiple access points to the terrace, making it ideal for entertaining and outdoor enjoyment.
