Charming on the outside and stunning on the inside, an old fashioned wrap around porch welcomes visitors. A gracious center hall delineates the traditional spaces, all boasting 9 ft ceilings, all punctuated by hand hewn oak moldings. Twelve airy rooms include 5 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths. The updated eat-in-kitchen includes center island, stainless appliances, stone counters. Four unique fireplaces add elegant distinction. A private master suite includes a sun filled sitting area, a spacious bathroom with radiant heated floors, steam shower, air tub and double vanity with marble counters. 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.
