About This Home

As of October 2021

The West Downer Place Georgian you have always admired was featured in the 1931 edition of Home and Field Magazine, showcasing the quality and character that remains today. Steeped in rich history, this 5 bedroom, 3 full and 2 half bath home has been lovingly maintained. The home features a formal entryway with curved staircase, generous room sizes throughout, hardwood flooring, updated kitchen and 5 fireplaces. The living room is the perfect place for entertaining, and adjoins the screened in porch on the west side of the home. Also on the first floor are the library with walls of bookcases and a fireplace, the formal dining room with fireplace and the adorable, updated kitchen with high end appliances. The master bedroom is huge, with a fireplace and more storage than you'll ever need! Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. The lot is almost 3/4 of an acre with lots of walnut trees, private courtyard off the kitchen and perennial plantings. There is so much to appreciate and explore.
