Property description

This enchanting, iconic “Storybook Style” home, artistically crafted with many unique and whimsical touches to be discovered throughout the home and grounds, has been dubbed the "Harry Potter House" by local children. The upper level master suite has a cathedral ceiling, freestanding fireplace, spa-like bath with walk-in shower, and giant closet with a round window inspired by the movie Christmas Vacation. The beautifully re-imagined chef’s kitchen has Calacatta Oro marble counters, Subzero refrigerator, island with gas range, wall-mounted double oven, and a view the of the rear garden. In the fairyland-like rear yard you will find a bubbling fountain, playful topiary, formal rose garden, greenhouse shed, English “folly,” a wisteria-draped fireplace arbor and sometimes even a visiting gray fox. Lovingly and thoughtfully improved and maintained, this house has a clear pest report, sewer lateral compliance, updated plumbing system, newer central furnace and AC, and seismic retrofit.
