Completely wrapped in rich warm brick salvaged from a Brooklyn schoolhouse, this classic Colonial enjoys a superbly landscaped setting designed to inspire year-round. Brick walkways, terraces and stone walls embrace the home and define endless beds of tulips, daffodils, and roses, accented by rhododendrons, dogwoods, redbuds, and specimen evergreens. The spacious foyer with grand curved oak staircase features a 9 ft. ceiling and hand-pegged red oak floor which continue into the adjoining rooms. The front-to-back living room enjoys lovely garden views and a wood-burning fireplace trimmed with an intricate Adamesque mantelpiece to add ambience to a winter's evening. The formal dining room with French doors to the back gardens features a wall of built-in glass shelves and arched dish hutches. The white and granite kitchen offers a center island and easy access to the family room boasting a brick walk-in fireplace crowned with a rustic hand-hewn beam as mantel. A first floor bedroom with adjoining full bath makes an ideal guest or nanny room. Upstairs is a large master bedroom with loft, dressing room, and full bath and three additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath. On a cul de sac, this impressive Pretty Brook home with both attached and detached garages and its spectacular landscaped grounds create an idyllic homestead for anyone seeking quality design and craftsmanship and ultimate tranquility.
