    What's special

    Fresh to the market is a vintage and stately 5 bedroom/4 bath, one-owner Town and Country classic on a wooded acre lot—actually 1.06 acres with the added privacy of a half-acre of wooded common ground as the southerly neighbor. This magnificent French Provincial with Colonial Revival influences home has so much to offer in space, privacy and original character — it is best seen in-person to be truly appreciated. This home is striking upon sight with an impressionable facade and Palladian windows. Entering the Mediterranean blue tiled foyer is eye opening with decorative detailed archways illuminated by a grand crystal chandelier hanging from the second-floor ceiling, AND a beautiful hanging candelabra fixture that twinkles from the sunlight coming inside the leaded-glass arched window over the doorway. The expansive foyer provides access to spacious rooms on both floors. Everywhere you look there is beautiful scrollwork, woodwork and cabinetry and these are just some of the finer details. On top of the outstanding aesthetic, this home provides tons of storage space between the numerous closets on the first and second floors as well as the open space in the unfinished basement and the oversized garage. The main floor Primary Bedroom Suite is palatial with 4 double-folding door closets, a large walk-in closet with shelves, and an ensuite dressing area in addition to the Primary Bathroom. Upstairs there are 4 large bedrooms with 2 full baths and a open-air lofty bonus area above the foyer that could be a study, library or media area — this space sparkles too with its own original chandelier, another ceiling fixture and loads of natural light from the huge arched window with decorative wrought iron. Italianate details like walls with beautiful Tuscan finishes and textured wallpaper complemented by Florentine register covers and the many glowing original light fixtures from Jaffe Lighting, incredibly detailed ceiling medallions, brass wall plates and motif applique on the walls and woodwork make this place a one-of-a-kind palace. The eat-in kitchen is bright with a set of bay windows, and has two pantries and newer stainless-steel appliances and an original cooktop. A doorway to the adjacent dining room provides easy access. The large brick and wrought iron courtyard looking over the wooded backyard provides a private retreat for entertaining or family relaxing that is easily accessed by 2 steps down from the family room as well as one step down from the laundry area. The backyard is mostly level with gentle sloping away from the house and is wooded with natural foliage and lots of wildlife, including birds, deer, rabbits and squirrels. The front yard is a shady island of beautifully mature trees inside of a wide circular drive. The exterior of the home has decorative sconce lantern lighting on the back terrace and front porch as well as flood security lights at the garage and rear. Handrails at the front door and in the garage, a built-in home security system and keyed auto garage door give peace of mind for new owner. This custom-built, brick & cedar home has been owned since 1975 by the same family. It is mostly original in character and appearance and has a great layout with room to update. Recent changes include a light fixture swap in dining room and new Lennox HVAC system for the second floor with new thermostats on both levels. At 51 years old, it has age related issues and is being sold AS-IS. Seller to make no repairs or provide inspections, municipal or otherwise, to close. All appliances to stay. This house IS NOT a tear down or a complete strip down and tear out. It is a true manor house with many architectural details easy to appreciate and great potential for updating as a new owner would like. This is an excellent opportunity to own a phenomenal home with wooded privacy in a great location just off Clayton Road with easy access to Hwy 40 and I-270.
