Once in a lifetime opportunity to own this quality, custom home, which was built to the highest standards, for the original (and only) owners. For 75 yrs, the owners have lovingly tended to the park like grounds of this beautiful, corner lot property. Step through the wrought iron gate, and escape to a fairy tale oasis of stone walls, gardens, and mature plantings. Inside the home, you will be astonished by the like-new condition of gleaming hardwood floors in the living room, hallway, dining room and the first floor bedrooms. Custom features abound, from the brick and slate raised hearth fireplace with its detailed mantle, to clever built-ins throughout the house. Thoughtfully placed windows, including bays and bows bring copious sunlight into each room. Even the stairway boasts beautiful wood and a skylight. Modern living is not sacrificed to Old World charm in this true four bedroom, two bath home. The floor plan features a first floor master bedroom addition with a full bath en suite that could also support an in-law or an extended family situation. A formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen offer dining options, and there is a partially finished basement with a bar and built-ins for entertaining. Replacement windows, central air and a newer roof complete the package. Bring your modern decorating touches, and call this "Home".
