Property Description
The classic brick façade opens to interiors rich with preserved historic detail, including quarter-sawn oak herringbone floors, leaded glass, original moldings, and star-shaped light fixtures. Gracious formal rooms with wood-burning fireplaces flow with balance and symmetry. The restored living room opens through French doors to the gardens, while a cozy library with original bookcases offers an intimate retreat. A thoughtfully reimagined butler's pantry preserves historic integrity while supporting modern living.
The kitchen blends charm and function with granite countertops, double islands, upgraded appliances, and seamless flow to the family room and rear patio. Upstairs, the original layout has been transformed into generous suites, including a primary wing added in 1984, with additional guest quarters above the garage. Thoughtful updates—slate roof, generator, HVAC zones, and restored hardwoods—ensure comfort without compromise. The grounds complete the offering with formal gardens, open lawns, a fish pond, woodland paths, and refined landscape lighting.
