A delightful third floor level includes a guest room, full bath with vintage tub, and separate shower. A gaming area, playroom and cedar closet complete the livable upper level. The basement offers two adjacent spaces, perfect for home gym and arts and crafts. The property, shielded by mature landscaping includes a skillful blending of seasonal flowers to keep colors vibrant year round. On the rear footprint, with ample room for a pool, a two-story carriage house is a 2 car garage but the potential is enormous as an artists studio, or special retreat. Beyond the spacious deck, an enchanting child’s playhouse is also included. A special home on a special property in a special location waits for a special buyer to enjoy all that it has to offer.
