About This Home

As of June 2021

Truly magnificent colonial filled with exceptional architectural details. The gracious first floor has an elegant entry foyer, front to back living room with a fireplace and French doors to heated sun room, a grand DR with wood paneled walls and doors to a screened porch, large eat-in kitchen with lots of work and storage space, pantry/laundry room, and a half bath. The second floor has masterful leaded/stained glass windows in hall, 3 BR's and study/library, and a charming small office/sewing room. The fully finished third floor is ideal for family or au pair. It has a family room and 3 bedrooms and a private entry. The outstanding yard has mature trees and plantings, a patio with a pergola, and a tea house that feels like a secret hideaway. This is an absolutely beautiful house!
