About This Home

As of April 2022

This stately Tudor home, featuring outstanding stonework and exposed Barn Beams, is generously situated on two parcels of land. The mature trees and shrubbery wrap around the perimeter of both lots that are included in this sale, with a majestic old growth Oak tree at the center of the front yard. Enjoy the privacy and space that both lots afford, relaxing on the patio or working in the gardens. With recessed windows and built-in shelving throughout, the interior of the home is Tudor traditional. The wood-burning fireplace has a blue-slate hearth and chestnut mantle, a distinctive feature in the living room. Each of the upstairs bedrooms features oak hardwood flooring and private closets. There is an additional set of steps located in the back bedroom that leads to the floored attic space. This cozy home has economical summer/winter hookup for hot water and a partially finished lower level with a full walk-out. The oversized garage is heated, making for a pleasant start to your day, all year long.
