In 1936, Leslie Hope selected this large parcel of just under 12,000sf on which to build this elegant one-story traditional just a short perambulation from Leslie Brand’s home and park. With that rare combination of location and design quality, it is no wonder the current Owners have enjoyed living here for over 50 years.
The inviting front door opens to a grand formal living room with a raised ceiling, large windows, and a warm fireplace hearth. The large dining room is formal as well. The central hall leads to each of the three bedrooms and two baths. The kitchen is at the center of the home and opens to a huge family room that was added with permits in the 70’s and provides such a flexible floor plan of over 2,300sf for the next very fortunate Owner of this special home.
The rear grounds enjoy a covered outdoor entertaining area, mature trees, gardens, and more open space. There is also a walk-in basement space on the south side of the property that provides so much extra storage and convenience. Just a few of the features include an updated roof, a massive front yard, and an attached two car garage.
