Set back on nearly an acre of remarkable grounds, there is an uncommon elegance and refinement to this beautiful residence. It is situated on a very wide parcel among many much more expensive properties in an outstanding location. Many windows allow natural light to stream into the rooms. The kitchen had been architect-designed and the details and layout remain very impressive to this day. The foyer is especially striking with its grand proportions and sweeping stairway. The exceptionally spacious living room has built-ins and a fireplace, as does the dining room. The den has a charming window seat and a fireplace and opens to a casual sunroom that leads to the patio. The second story has a main ensuite bedroom with the fourth fireplace, three more bedrooms and two additional baths. You could make improvements as you choose and enjoy a home that is both timeless and classic.
