Timeless elegance meets modern comfort in this beautifully reimagined 1925 center-hall Colonial, offering six bedrooms, four and a half baths, and over 4,800 square feet of refined interiors. Perfectly positioned on a lush lot on a picturesque, tree-lined street in Observatory Circle, this home captivates from the start with its classic architecture and charming front porch—an inviting prelude to its gracious interiors. Inside, exquisite architectural details abound, including elegant millwork, high ceilings, rich wood floors, arched doorways, and two fireplaces. The main level seamlessly blends formal and casual living, featuring a grand foyer, a sophisticated living room, a formal dining room, and a sunlit family room that opens to the chef’s kitchen. Designed for both function and style, the kitchen boasts a Wolf gas range with venting hood, custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and ample storage. A butler’s pantry/wet bar enhances the space, perfect for entertaining, while a well-appointed mudroom with custom built-ins adds everyday convenience. A powder room completes this level. French doors lead to a beautifully landscaped rear yard, designed for outdoor enjoyment with a stone terrace, 86” outdoor TV, built-in speakers, a gas line, a motorized awning, and a sport court. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite occupies a private wing, complete with a sitting room, a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, and a marble-clad en-suite bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this level. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and a full bath, providing flexibility for guests, office space, or a private retreat. The finished lower level expands the home’s living space with a large recreation room, a gym/flex space, and a mechanical/laundry room. A detached two-car garage completes this exceptional offering. Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street in Observatory Circle, this home offers easy access to top-rated schools and the city’s best shopping and dining. A rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury, this is a home to cherish for generations.
