About This Home
As of July 2021A Bevy of Grandly Scaled Spaces to Use as You Wish in this Western Section Grand Dame With Walled Garden. Stroll to dinner, the theater, the library, even the train, from a Western Section stunner with plenty of wow-factor and a backyard that’s sized just right for weeknight grilling or a garden party with a full guest list. A motor court is an appropriately formal introduction to the grand historic residence, built nearly a century ago, while around back, a lawn and stone patio with built-in kitchen ensconced by garden walls and flowering trees is as magical as it is functional. The garage comes equipped with a charging station, just one of many forward-thinking upgrades. Inside, that combination of pomp and practicality continues with a magnificently trimmed foyer and the large formal rooms at the front and an array of up-to-date, user-friendly spaces facing the yard. The kitchen has all of today’s most wanted appliances: a glass-door Sub Zero, an induction cooktop and a serve-yourself beverage station in the breakfast room. The sizable family room opens to the sunroom, an uplifting year-round retreat. An elevator in the mudroom now serves all 4 levels, including the perfectly laid out 2nd floor with 2 bedrooms sharing a bath and study/play space and the comprehensive main suite with separate his and hers dressing rooms. The top floor accommodates any need! An airy office with fireplace, a loft lounge and guest quarters are already in place. While some may wish to put their own spin on existing baths, this home is impeccably maintained with wise expenditures, like a whole-house generator, already taken care of.
