This 1920s Dutch Colonial is the childhood home of American actress Lisa Eichhorn. It sits nestled on half an acre surrounded by mature tress which provide natural air conditioning in the summer. At the back of the property is a stream and a two car garage. The home is protected by flood plane rulings so no house may be built next to it and the fields beyond the property line are also protected land. Off a small porch the front door opens onto a foyer and there are long central hallways upstairs and down. To the left of the front door is the spacious living room (24 x 14) with a stone fireplace and two doors leading to a porte coch?re and on the right side of the front door the dining room leads to the kitchen and to a door onto a side porch. The kitchen and half bath complete the downstairs. There are four bedrooms upstairs and the full bath. The house was built to very high standards in its day with wood floors throughout and lead paned windows however, the kitchen and bathroom need updating. The full attic has a large extractor fan which pulls air through the house during warm summer evenings. This home has the most extraordinary light through all seasons and is a house which would repay any buyer willing to fix it up with its peace and beauty.
