Traditionalists will fall in love with this classic School Lane Hills beauty'with a bit of interesting history' Commissioned in 1928 for the Wohlsen (Construction) family, it was their private residence for many years. The Craftsmanship found in homes of that era often reveal they were built to last, using quality materials, making them solid as a rock! Notable features are the solid core wood doors throughout and the especially beefy front door. Sturdy clapboard siding milled from Redwood, plaster walls, tiled bathrooms and built-ins. Amenities include 3 Bedrooms, 3 Full and 1 Half bath, natural gas heat and a 2+ Car, detached, garage. The large, formal living room has a wood burning fireplace with marble surround, a lovely mantel, and Built-in bookcase to one side. The elegant dining room has 2 built-in corner cupboards, hardwood floors and deep windowsills. Moving to the updated kitchen there is a charming nook for dining, Corian countertops and Tile floors. The large sunroom, or, family room addition is located off the dining room, which provides wonderful views of a large backyard with mature trees. From there you can access the Slate Patio and out to a charming gazebo! Other features include a center hall with closet, a powder room with original tile and a mudroom, off the kitchen. There are 3 Bedrooms upstairs, 2 full baths with original tile, one with a shower and porcelain tub. The owners suite is connected to a sizable dressing room and has large closets. The lower level has, a full bath with tub and shower, a small workshop, laundry room and a large open area for storage, or, perhaps, a workout space.
