This is one of the most admired stone Georgians in town, a home of compelling character, located on spectacular 2.79-acre property with a beautiful heated pool and expansive terraces overlooking a private pond ideal for skating or summer enjoyment. Stone walls and a circular driveway set off the classic architecture. Built in 1941 at the zenith of the pre-war period, the architectural lines are in perfect harmony with the site, and the landscaping embellishes it with stands of rhododendron, flowering trees, weeping willows and specimen plant-ing. A Chippendale-style overlight at the front door brings light into the double-height center hall with its graceful curved stairway with a second window on the landing. The exceptionally generous, step-down living room with a fireplace and a coffered ceiling has lovely proportions, eight over twelve long windows with deep window reveals and handsome new cabinetry. The formal dining room has delightful corner cupboards, and the library with a fireplace has a bay window with french doors to the expansive stone terraces surrounding the heated pool with its marvelous views. A recent, superb renovation in character has resulted in an inviting kitchen with tall glass cabinetry and a conservatory-style breakfast room with doors to the garden. Adjoining this is the step-down family room with a fireplace, a bay window with a window seat, a wet bar, french doors and hall access to one of two powder rooms. The luxurious tray-ceiling master suite, with magical views across the property and Heron Pond, has two dressing rooms, two bathrooms with a whirlpool bath and a separate shower plus a study - the most civilized of wings. There are four or five additional bedrooms (one with a fireplace and dressing room), four bathrooms in a flexible floorplan with back stairs and a third-floor bedroom and bathroom. The roof is wood shingle, and there is a heated room for bicycles in addition to the garage, which is just two steps from the kitchen. On
