The detailing with heavy moldings and scalloped shingles is a delight. Insulating glass windows in the classic Victorian design have maintained the style of this handsome home while making it work for today. The center hall with a wonderful fireplace has a graceful curving stairway, banded oak parquet floors and a powder room. There is a second fireplace in the generous living room with a beamed ceiling, a bay window and glass doors in a bay leading to the porch. The dining room has two exposures and a corner cabinet, and the library has built-in, richly panelled cabinetry and a wide bay window. The kitchen/family room is a large space with a recent kitchen, ideally designed for today's living, adjoining staircases both upstairs to a wonderful playroom or downstairs to an enormous lower level game room complete with a full bathroom and a wine cellar area. Upstairs is the master suite with a beautiful octagonal sitting area in a tower awash in afternoon sun-light, ample closets and a large bathroom with a bathtub in a bay and a separate shower stall. The upstairs family room has windows on three sides and a wet bar. There are five additional bedrooms on the second and third floors and three bathrooms. The use of Palladian windows on the third floor is a treat and there are winter water glimpses. The carriage house has two garages in addition to the two garages in the main house, and above this is an apartment with a living room, a dining room, a modern kitchen, a huge master bedroom plus a second bedroom, two bathrooms and a laundry. The side court-yard opens onto a traffic-free cul-de-sac, ideal for bicycling. Renovated with respect for the original, this appealing home, complete with a generator, is wonderful with beautiful rooms and space for everything.
