Built in 1915, this sun filled Colonial style home is filled with charming vintage details. Richly painted in a stately navy, the exterior is trimmed in white. A terrace situated under the living room windows, provides a perfect spot for flowers and plants. The front yard has been landscaped with drought friendly plants for a low-maintenance, yet beautiful, front garden. A few steps lead up to the covered porch, framed with wooden columns, and the gold front door with detailed carvings and numerous inlaid windows within an arched frame. The foyer holds a generous coat closet and opens to the living room revealing beautifully coffered ceilings, crown moldings, and high vintage baseboards over richly finished inlaid hardwood floors. The living room is a warm and open gathering space, boasting large divided light windows overlooking the front garden. The wood burning fireplace with a stone hearth and a generous wood mantle is flanked with floor to ceiling bookshelves. An open entry leads to the formal dining room with views out to the backyard. The elegant dining room features a built-in corner hutch with a leaded glass china cabinet. Wall sconces and a drum light add to the natural light that pours in from the 10 light French doors which open onto the outdoor deck, creating a versatile set up for entertaining. The hexagonal breakfast nook is surrounded with windows and an expansive view of the back yard.
