The residence seamlessly combines historic elegance with modern-day amenities for sophisticated living and entertaining. The main level offers a spacious, open layout designed for entertaining, with lovely scaled rooms that are bathed in natural light from three exposures. Attractive hardwood floors stretch throughout, adding warmth and character. A gracious entry foyer welcomes you into the sophisticated living room, where high ceilings and a central fireplace with an intricately detailed wooden mantel create an inviting ambiance. Moving through the formal dining room, you'll find the fully renovated gourmet kitchen, equipped with a large peninsula with a breakfast bar, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious pantry. The kitchen space is generous and offers the ability to have a breakfast table and/or sofa seating. There are multiple doors with transom windows leading to the rear terrace and garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. For added convenience, a powder room is located on this level. On the second floor, the luxurious primary suite occupies a private position at the back of the house. Generous in scale, it opens to a Juliet balcony that overlooks the serene garden. This suite features an impressive walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom, complete with dual vanities, a spacious shower with a bench and multiple fixtures, and a separate water closet. Also on this level is a second spacious bedroom, adorned with three large windows and charming built-ins. This bedroom shares the floor with a full bathroom and a large hall closet.

This level also includes a third bedroom with a decorative fireplace, built-ins, and a private entrance from the front of the house, making it perfect for guests. A full bathroom and a built-in bar with a wine refrigerator add to the lower level's appeal, along with a laundry room that includes a utility sink and ample storage. The outdoor space is equally impressive, with a private rear terrace and beautifully landscaped gardens that are perfect for entertaining. A breezeway leads to the detached and beautifully finished carriage house, which provides additional living space with a large sitting area, fireplace, built-in desk with office storage, bathroom, and a wet bar. For added convenience, there is a gated parking area that can accommodate one car, as well as a charming storage shed.
