An outdoor sprinkler system maintains the lush surroundings with ease.

The house is built on steel beam construction and is complemented by a full basement with workshop, two separate HVAC systems, and two sump pumps. New elastomeric roof with skylights installed in 2021. This home, being sold as-is, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history and a sanctuary of tranquility surrounded by some of the North Shore's finest multi-million dollar homes.
