With 6 bedrooms and nearly 4,500 square feet of exceptional living space, the sellers have preserved the historic beauty of the home while providing many updates which add to its comfort and functionality. Upon entering this STUNNING 1.45 acre property, you will find glorious mature trees, an abundance of blooming perennials and gardens at every turn, lavish professional landscaping, large open spaces for soccer, lacrosse or hide and seek, stone paths, soaring lampposts and the perfect setting for entertaining and private relaxation. Enter through the stone patio and be welcomed into a generous Living Room featuring oversized windows, a handsome painted brick fireplace, oversized glass doors with transom windows which open to the incredible Screened-in Porch, and a quarter turn staircase with landing providing vantage points to both the living and dining room.
