Property description

Built to impress in the 20's, when grandeur & quality were demanded, this stately CE col sits majestically behind a stone wall high off the road, where its presence is admired by all who pass. Inside is as stunning, where endless charm & character enhance every rm. From gleaming HW fls & elegant crown moldings, to multiple sets of French drs, a grand foyer & a dramatic staircase w/a cozy built-in window seat, it's everything that is often sought, but is rarely found. The center hall is flanked by a gorgeous LR to the left, where an oversized mantled FP & a French dr leading to a covered porch steal the show. To the right, an inviting & sumptuous DR beckons those who love to entertain. The dream kitchen w/its warm finishes is well designed for maximum function & is sure to be the heartbeat of this home. The primary suite is glamourous & offers a walk-in closet & spa-bath. The third level provides a HUGE rm that can serve as a fourth bdrm, home office, playrm, or theatre. A true beauty!!
