About This Home

As of October 2022

Circa 1935, this stately Tudor home was nestled into the hillside in the prestigious Hessian Camp. No expenses were spared when this custom home was crafted by the German builders. The house offers many living levels with all sorts of traditional features, but lots of flex spaces too. The large modern kitchen opens to a covered side porch and is only a few steps away from a huge outside patio that is completely private and hidden. The vast patio can host 40 guests or more and is useful for 3 seasons. A fenced yard has been created for your 4 legged friends and it has direct access to the lower level of the house. Lovely pegged hardwood floors welcome you into the foyer and living room, where a handsome fire place and french door are located. All of the bathrooms have been thoughtfully redone and the house has new windows, modern efficient gas heat and new AC along with a full security system, fire places and a useful 2 car garage. Close to almost everything this house is a true hidden treasure
