Property Description

This captivating, circa-1935 home is a rare blend of preserved architectural beauty and carefully curated modern updates having undergone nearly $500K in renovations over the last four years (new roof, new HVAC with heat pump and solar panels, new primary suite...). Situated on a prominent corner lot, the residence welcomes you with a turreted entry that offers a gracious introduction to the stunning spaces within. The grand living room is centered around a striking original wood-burning fireplace, framed by built-in walnut bookcases and bathed in natural light from seven exquisite leaded and stained-glass windows. Opposite the foyer, the formal dining room impresses with a dramatically scaled light fixture and five additional stained-glass windows, creating a space ideal for hosting memorable gatherings. Throughout the home, you'll find rich walnut trim, detailed crown molding, gleaming hardwood floors, and the charm of original stained-glass artistry. This spacious 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout offers generous proportions and the flexibility to evolve with your needs. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features painted cabinetry, soapstone countertops, newer stainless- steel appliances & a cheery walk-in pantry. An adjacent breakfast room featuring a vintage built-in corner cabinet, adding a touch of nostalgic charm as you enjoy morning coffee with views of the landscaped yard. Three main level bedrooms share a wonderfully preserved vintage bath with an arched, tiled ceiling over a cast- iron bathtub and a separate shower. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a magazine-worthy master class in timeless elegance. Vaulted ceilings with exposed, up-lit wood beams, stained and leaded-glass windows, and retro push- button light switches are prominent details. A see- through fireplace (clad on four sides with Italian Breccia Nero marble) separates the bedroom from a cozy sitting area with built- in bookshelves and the large walk- in closet beyond. The ethereal spa-inspired ensuite bath is clad in Carrera marble and includes a free-standing tub, a spectacular dual rain shower and custom cabinetry set upon heated floors. A nook on the landing outside of the bedroom makes for a perfect home office or reading space. The fully finished walk-out basement offers high ceilings and immense versatility for work, play, long- term guest accommodations (or even a live- in nanny). Featuring a large family room with a gas fireplace and an equally large rec room with a billiards table, these entertaining spaces are supported by a bi-level wet bar fronting a cheeky "dogs at play" mural, a high- end, custom wine cellar holding 388 bottles, and a kitchenette featuring a full suite of stainless- appliances. A guest bedroom suite (BR#5) includes a seating area and direct access to a full bath via jack and jill doors. A 6th bedroom completes this floor and makes an ideal exercise room or work shop too. Outdoors, enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard with a large brick paver patio, landscaped beds, a vegetable garden, mature trees and swaths of lawn- watered via a 13- zone irrigation system. An oversized, brick two- car garage leads to a renovated, vintage green house with operable, gear- driven banks of windows on the side and above- a gardener's paradise, a great spot for a romantic glass of wine, or illuminate it in the evening for a glowing, sculptural focal point. All this within a short stroll to Mann School, multiple parks, restaurants, and more. A rare opportunity for the most discerning buyers. Showings by appointment only Starting May 2nd.
