This historically significant 1906 carriage house, designed in the Victorian Tudor style by noted Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre, is situated on a private lot which has been professionally landscaped with specimen plantings and features a long driveway edged by tall laurels and multicolored azaleas. This structure began as a barn which was part of a large country estate named Low Walls; two years after completion, it was skillfully converted and redesigned as a proper two story center hall home complementing the adjacent larger main house. Totally renovated, the floor plan includes a two-story entrance hall, large living room with wood-burning fireplace, built in bookcases on either end and two sets of French doors opening to the covered flagstone terrace. Also off the hall is a powder room, study with bookcases and French doors to a small patio, formal dining room and kitchen which adjoins a large breakfast room with bay window overlooking the courtyard, large recreation room, full bath and a fireside family room with original beaded board ceiling and rough-hewn beams. The kitchen has bleached cherry Woodmode cabinetry, new Viking double wall ovens, new Bosch dishwasher, new Jenn-Air gas cooktop and Subzero refrigerator. Second floor has four bedrooms and three baths, walk-in storage closet and large unfinished attic. The level rear yard is enhanced by a large flagstone terrace, a fully-renovated brick gardeners cottage with stone counters and large sink, a long brick accent wall extending from the cottage, extensive flower beds and among other large trees three mature Kansan cherry trees and rare large magnolia macro phyla tree.
