About This Home
Sometimes, an opportunity comes on the market that’s just unique, presenting historical charm and character,

offers a combination of wonderful original spaces, intertwined with modern updates and decor. Each room is
an adventure and is centered on almost .7 acres of lovely estate. To access the property, turn on Devon Ave.
You will be greeted by a gated circular driveway and lovely pine trees for shade with ample parking.
You enter the home through a large entry purpose room that also hosts your laundry area, sauna and an
adjacent shower stall, wonderful storage and provides access to a large, 2 car garage. Then, enter the home
and you’re in a large modern kitchen that feels like southern Italy, and includes a third fireplace. It’s perfect for
