Property Description
Let's begin with the curb appeal. From the moment you approach the property, you'll notice that this home proudly stands out in the neighborhood. The architecture pays homage to the classic 1926 Tudor design, with steep rooflines and decorative masonry that gives the facade an impressive, yet warm and inviting presence. The front yard has been lovingly landscaped, creating a lush, green welcome as you walk up the pathway to the front door. Take a beat before you step inside and appreciate all the details.
Once inside, you'll step into a lovely front foyer That same classic charm follows you inside, where original hardwood floors flow underfoot, and architectural details like wood trim and archways remind you that they just don't make homes like this anymore.
To the right, the luxurious living room welcomes you with plenty of natural light and an authentic Italian-imported (now gas) fireplace that serves as the room's crown jewel. It's a cozy space for chilly winter afternoons and a perfect focal point for gatherings in every season. With a wonderful wall of custom-cabinetry, there's room for all your objet d'art. Just off the living room, you'll find the spacious formal dining area which is ideal for everything from Sunday brunch casual everyday dining or holiday feasts .
The kitchen is an incomparable and incredible dream-come-true if you love to cookor even if you just love the idea of learning how one day. From its gorgeous wood ceiling to the stone floors with radiant heat, this space has been designed with both beauty and function in mind. You'll find a stunning copper-sink and 48-inch special edition Thermador gas range with double ovens plus Sub-Zero refrigerator and stainless steel appliances, letting you whip up anything from grilled cheese to gourmet meals. The granite countertops offer plenty of surface area, and the custom cabinetry includes lighted glass-front doors, under-cabinet lighting, and carefully designed shelves for showcasing all of your dishes and stemware -- or kitchen collection of knick-knacks.
And if you're worried about where everyone will hang out while you're cooking, no need. The kitchen opens to a beautiful sunroom. With its walls of windows, this year-round retreat is flooded with natural light and offers a quiet place to read, sip coffee, or whisper a few friendly words to your houseplants.

Another full bathroom on the second level features and a splendid soaking tub, making morning routines just a bit less chaotic.The third floor includes a large bedroom and a full bath (also with a heated floor!) which makes it an ideal guest suite, office, or secret hideaway for teenagers who like feeling above it all --literally.
