    What's special

    Built in 1925, this French Provincial designed home has been meticulously renovated for modern family living while preserving its historic charm. This exceptional home showcases original architectural details, including a brick entryway, intricate paneling, detailed moldings, textured plaster finishes, and a Pewabic tile bathroom. A transformative renovation created desirable open concept living, adding a 24’ x 24’ family room that adjoins an entertainer's large eat-in kitchen, and a central dining room - perfectly sized for a 12’ table. Also connected is a sophisticated living room showcasing a stone fireplace flanked by custom floor-to-ceiling, temperature-controlled wine cabinets. Four sets of french doors connect this light filled living space to a secluded outdoor patio. The main level also includes a dedicated home office with built-in shelving and cozy fireplace, and a dramatic powder room with an arched door. On the second floor, the grand primary suite boasts a large walkout balcony, a sitting room with a fireplace, walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite with a whirlpool tub. Additional bedrooms offer unique charm. The second bedroom features a fireplace and ensuite, while the third bedroom is complete with a wall of built-ins and an adjoining Pewabic tile bathroom. The fourth bedroom, additional full luxury bath and laundry room, can also be accessed via a second stairway. The third level provides a versatile fifth bedroom/hangout space with custom shelving and magnetic chalkboard walls. The fully fenced, private backyard is a serene retreat with a pergola, built-in stone gas fireplace and BBQ, a pond with a water feature, and extensive landscaping. Additional highlights include an expanded aggregate driveway, two garden gatehouses, a large garage with an L2 EV charger, and an unfinished basement with epoxy flooring and organized storage. This distinguished residence boasts a highly desirable location!
