Down a gated driveway and hidden from the road, timeless architecture and complete privacy await the next steward of this West side gem. Built in 1912 and thoughtfully renovated by Jim Schettino, this five-bedroom Cape-style home, sited on 3.94 acres, offers charm and detail throughout. Five generously-sized bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and large walk-in closets, provide room for all without feeling overwhelming. A beautiful first floor sunroom with expansive lawn and garden views offers a place for fireside sitting or a gorgeous office. An open kitchen with high-end appliances, informal and formal dining areas and a family room allows for easy living and entertaining, while a multi level patio off the kitchen with a built-in grill and wood burning fireplace provides outdoor enjoyment extending into the fall. The showcase bonus room with vaulted ceilings and a cupola provides a flexible-use space convenient to the main living area. Outside, each season brings its own magic as lovingly planted perennials and native plants, chosen for color, fragrance and ease of maintenance, continue to grow and multiply year after year. Protected by a full perimeter deer fence, over 15,000 daffodils and other bulbs start popping up in early spring, followed by peonies, daisies and multiple varieties of raspberries emerge in summer and fall. 5 fireplaces, automatic generator, 3 car garage, mudroom and walk-in pantry are only some of the extra features of this special home.
