About This Home

As of June 2016

This majestic Colonial is incomparable, with a stately stone exterior, pristine manicured grounds, and an ultra-private setting far back from the road. A winding drive leads through gorgeous greenery over a charming stone bridge to a magnificent 6 bedroom, 4.2 bath home built in 1936 that exudes classic elegance. Expansive parklike property ensures a peaceful existence in a prime location near Braeburn, Broadacres and Clarendon Roads. A vestibule entry opens to a large reception hall with graceful staircase and random-width lagged hardwood flooring that graces the living areas as well. Spacious and beautiful with generous windows, crown and chair rail moldings and a fireplace is the comfortable living room where family and guest gravitate. French doors give way to a breathtaking sunroom with tow walls of windows, flagstone flooring and exposed stone. This opens to the lovely gourmet kitchen that will delight both the chef and the family, designed with white cabinetry, granite counters, hardwood floor, stainless steel appliances, hood and wine cooler. A den with built-ins, painted beams and black and white checkerboard floors also access the sunroom. Connecting the kitchen to the dining room with a fireplace for easy entertaining is a butler's pantry with white cabinets, granite and wood counters, a stainless steel sink and Bosch dishwasher. Enjoy coffee and casual fare gazing out the bay window in the breakfast room at the tranquil terrace, stone knee wall and nature. The upstairs master bedroom with a fitted walk-in close and private bath invites relaxation. Multiple secondary bedrooms include a sizable suite with hardwood floors, triple exposures and tiled private. The third floor houses an exercise from and sunny music room with vaulted ceiling and painted beams. A finished spacious recreation room with higher than average ceiling height and paneled walls sits on the lower level with a wet bar and floor to ceiling stone fireplace for intimate gatherings. Other conveniences include a laundry room, 2 storage rooms (one with outside access) and a 2-car attached garage.
