About This Home

As of August 2016

When you were a child this is how you pictured your dream home: symmetrically pleasing, solid, safe and just the right size. To quote Mary Poppins: It's practically perfect in every way. Beautiful and extensive landscaping creates a private oasis from the outside world. The backyard is level, spacious and quiet. Well scaled interior rooms are ideal for entertaining a large group or just a few close friends. Beautifully appointed kitchen with butler's pantry and separate eating area. Mudroom located off the backyard, with attached den which is great for everyday use. Four corner second floor bedrooms are all spacious and filled with natural light. Retreat up to the third floor on the open staircase leading to large open space with two bedrooms and a full bathroom located off of it.
