This home is enchanting! It was crafted and constructed by the esteemed writer, Grace Livingston Hill. This unique and diverse home perfectly captures the essence of the turn of the century with its magnificent Arts and Crafts elements, graceful archways, and charming turret. While incorporating modern updates, the home has preserved its original charm and character. Updates include; new furnace in 2012; new hot water heater 2017; basement waterproofing with French drains, two sump pumps and wall treatments in 2016-2020; refinished hardwood floors on second floor 2018; balcony resurfaced in 2018; new Samsung stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave in kitchen 2022; stone pointing in 2022; band new fence enclosing backyard in 2022; remodeled second floor powder room 2022 and remodeled primary ensuite bathroom in 2023, both with underfloor heating; new roofs replaced from 2018-2024. Inside, you'll discover many built-in features, cozy fireplaces, stunning terracotta tiling, and elegant hardwood flooring. French doors guide you to a delightful elevated patio, where you can indulge in the awe-inspiring views of the expansive backyard and garden, along with a separate three-car garage. From the inviting covered front porch to the turret that offers panoramic views of the surrounding trees and rooftops, it is truly one of a kind.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
