The perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility with room to entertain family and friends. Recent updates include new skylights, a freshly painted interior, and refinished wide-board hardwood flooring. 4,714 SF - PLUS a very useful 650 SF walk-out lower level one-bedroom apartment with its own family room, fireplace, kitchen, and full bath. A spacious first-floor primary suite offers sliders to a new deck overlooking sweeping landscaped grounds. You will find a remodeled ensuite bath in the second-floor primary suite. A soaring two-story stone fireplace is an impressive focal point in the family room, which cleverly shares a wet bar with the living room. One of the favorite spots in this home is the screened porch that bridges these two rooms. The formal dining room with a built-in hutch leads the way to a spacious dine-in kitchen with vaulted beadboard ceiling. A serene bluestone terrace and gardens adjacent to the kitchen provide an alfresco oasis.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
