About This Home
As of June 2017This expanded Brookstone Cape fills the soul with its light-hearted elegance, completely renovated interiors, and stunning swimming pool surrounded by 2 tree-lined acres. Art, music, and loved ones will fill modern-day spaces accented with French and pocket doors, hardwoods, and built-ins galore. A spectacular soapstone, maple, and copper kitchen offers all the cook's bells and whistles, including a Boos-topped island and ample shelves for cookbook favorites. The peacock slate "mudroom" is more than its name denotes, with a woodburning fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and cozy benches. A sun-flooded Great Room and formal dining room are ready for large-scale entertaining; spend rainy Sundays in a music room or a study with soapstone-topped bookcases. 5 bedrooms and 3 redone baths include the master suite with a room-sized walk-in closet and a soothing, spa-style bath. The pool, pergola, and sweeping bluestone patio nestle amid a profusion of peonies and hydrangea. 3-car garage. 5 minutes to Palmer Square and down the lane from Johnson Park School.
