Originally built in 1929, this distinguished residence has been meticulously expanded and renovated to showcase time-honored design reimagined for contemporary living. A stone facade, crisp white exterior, and welcoming front porch set an elegant tone upon arrival. Inside, the home achieves a graceful balance between formal and informal living. Sunlit rooms framed by generous windows create an inviting warmth, while preserved details-including curved archways-honor the home's history. The thoughtful renovation enhanced both scale and flow, introducing expansive gathering areas, a chef's kitchen, and versatile spaces equally suited for entertaining or everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a serene retreat with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors opening to a private deck. Six additional bedrooms are generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged to provide comfort and privacy. A large recreation room with custom built-ins adds flexibility, accommodating everything from work to play. Outdoors, the beautifully landscaped property features a bluestone patio with a built-in grill-creating an exceptional setting for al fresco dining, gatherings, and quiet enjoyment.
