The home was formerly a one family home with a doctor's suite. You’ll find two separate entrances here, offering two wings on the first floor, connected via an interior door.

The first floor has an impressive great room, flanked with a wall of windows. There is a front parlor, used as a piano room, with two exposures. The windowed eat-in-kitchen complete with butler pantry has been renovated, in keeping with the era of this home. It has a reclaimed enameled sink, Subzero stainless steel fridge, Bosch dishwasher and a Viking stove. There is a beautiful new powder room adjacent. The other wing has two very large rooms - one was the original dining room, the other another living room, plus a room used as a bedroom, that could also be an office, or whatever you desire. There is a lovely full bath here as well as a wet bar/hospitality area complete with a second fridge.
On the second level you'll find 3 large bedrooms and another room currently used as a family room with a large open archway entrance. The master bedroom suite is gorgeous, with an ensuite black and white bath, a large walk-in closet, and a huge open-air terrace. The family room--a truly immense 21’ x 14’6” room has another terrace. The main bath on this floor is vintage and fabulous.
The third floor contains another four bedrooms, all unique and quirky! The largest one, at the front of the house, is 22' long and is truly another Great Room. The full basement provides another 1600 square feet of space, with mechanicals in good condition.
The backyard is immense - and a botanical paradise. There are three distinct areas within - a huge brick patio for dining and barbequing, and large green backyard space with a separate side yard. With both mature trees and perennial gardens, not only is there room to wander, relax, play, and dine, it is also a true cutting garden. There are fragrant climbing roses, 3 lilacs, a large fig tree, several varieties of hydrangea, hosta, and black-eyed susans; daisies, coreopsis, heliopsis, daffodils, tulips, peonies, and more.
With an abundance of beautiful outdoor and indoor space, this is the home you will want to call yours.
