The architecture and the detailing are a delight. From the Belgian block lined driveway, the charming porte cochere leads to the romantic verandah floored in mahogany. The handsome front door opens to the broad center hall with a leaded glass window, a window seat, original painted paneling, an arched door to a powder room and the staircase with its carved newel posts. The front-to-back living room with a classical fireplace is bracketed by arched display cases, and there are three exposures with exceptional windows as well as the original detailing including pilasters, entablatures and paneling - three seating areas give this room great flexibility. The dining room with a fireplace and a wide bay window continues the high ceilings found throughout the house and there are french doors to the verandah. Overlooking the garden is the wonderful country kitchen with a fireplace, a large informal eating area, a place for stools at the enormous island, a bay window as well as an oval window to bring in the afternoon sun, a skylight, a built-in desk area. The family room has windows to the garden, a place for a large screen television and the working area for the elaborate stereo system which is wired throughout the house and controlled from each room. In addition, there is a playroom, a second powder room, a large laundry room and a chilled 800-bottle wine cellar. The master bedroom suite is generous with three exposures, a sitting room or study, two lovely bathrooms and excellent closet areas. There are four other bedrooms, one with a bay window (one with built-ins and two with interesting nooks and crannies) plus two bathrooms. The stairway has a marvelous landing with an inviting window seat under a curved window with a key in the molding, and the second floor hall has room for a loveseat. The carriage house has garaging for three cars, and the 680 square foot area above has plans for an inviting guest house. The level grounds include two terraces, a romantic tea house, a filtered garden pool and three of the most magnificent cut-leaf Japanese maples in town, plus there are views of protected open land of over an acre to ensure privacy and space. The roof is wood shingle and the HVAC system is gas fired hydro-air. The entire home sparkles with its top-to-bottom renovation.
