Welcome to an extraordinary French Manor Estate nestled on a secluded Hope Valley Country Club lot uniquely positioned on both the 12th & 17th fairway of the renowned Donald Ross Golf Course. Handsome French doors throughout the home lead to a European designed slate stone patio rich with lush mature English gardens. A gorgeous secluded pool, featuring a waterfall, provides multiple opportunities to rejuvenate the spirit and exercise in privacy. The masterful design, on 1.14 acres, lives like a coveted ranch for aging in place. Three distinctive fireplaces, beautiful refinished hardwoods, graciously sized rooms, and a custom designed pantry all impart an architecturally refined home. This residence is perfect for the buyer who desires charm and country estate living within the city. This is a rare opportunity that does not come along often.
