Welcome to 'Evergreen', circa 1871, beautifully situated among a variety of majestic mature trees. The home is set well back from the road and stands astride a hillside creating a private and serene setting. This elegant home has been the beloved property of the current owners for 54 years and has benefited greatly from their meticulous care. Upon entering the home, one's attention is drawn to the high ceilings which highlight the original molding framing the French doors, crown moldings and ceiling medallions. Large windows, ideally placed, allow for lovely views and generous natural light even on a cloudy day. The living room features a working wood-burning fireplace with marble pilasters, side French doors open onto a private patio, and a large bay window. Additional French doors open onto the formal dining room. A well- organized, efficient eat- in kitchen with west-facing windows allows one to enjoy the sunset while busy in the kitchen. The original floor plan features a family room that opens out onto a front porch sheltered by an awning, and which provides another ideal spot to enjoy sunsets. The current owners have added a family den off the kitchen with a side door that opens to another patio. This new den boasts walls of exposed stone and brick as well as a propane fireplace which creates a warm inviting atmosphere. The first floor also features a full bathroom. You will love the space on the second floor. There are 5 bedrooms and each has it own individual character. The large master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a room of elegance. Double spacious bedrooms (one leading into another) with a built-in dresser, and window seat, leave plenty of room for rest and play, and 2 other comfortably sized bedrooms, both with large closets.
