OFFERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND SELLERS WILL BE REVIEWING AS THEY COME IN. This is the house that that stops you walking by to marvel at its beauty- the proportions, the character, the architectural details, the condition! Its extraordinary in its understated presence. And behind the charming and understated facade is a spacious and versatile interior boasting much more room than you would expect. With both formal and informal living and entertaining spaces, great circular flow between rooms and outside to the raised front terrace and back bluestone patio, a private home office on the first floor, gathering space on every level, and a luxurious first floor primary suite, this is a forever kind of home. The updated kitchen offers great space to prepare a family meal or for a special occasion to be enjoyed in the spacious formal dining room. There are 5 BR, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, including the luxurious first floor primary suite with onyx vanity, his and her closets and cedar lined built in in the dressing area. The second floor, has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. 2 bedrooms and a shared hall bath each are on either side of a cheerful second family room. This room could also be a dedicated study room or kids playroom. And there is more... head to the basement to play ping pong, watch your favorite Movie or just hang out in the expansive, dug out in 2000, recreation room. The house would not be complete without a spacious mudroom and back entry and of course loads of organized storage including a wonderful walk in closet for bulk items and extra refrigeration and freezer space. The cherry (or should I say the grape) on top of this charming home is a climate controlled wine closet. The backyard is not to be missed. With lush, mature landscaping that provides a serene and private setting for the spacious bluestone patio and natural gas fire pit. The owners have proactively maintained the infrastructure of the home throughout their 30 year ownership, offering the utmost peace of mind to any buyer. See the extensive list of updates in the additional information. The location is exceptional, providing both a quiet street and walking distance to town, train, beaches, and parks. This charming house is a forever kind of home in every way. You will not be disappointed.
