Straight out of the 1920's, this fairytale of a home signifies all of the reasons why charm can often times leave you weeping. From the moment you walk in, you are enveloped into a Georgian Mode abyss of arched windows, hand scraped hardwoods, stained glass windows that could compete with those found in one of the most idyllic churches, and details that pictures don't do justice. Built in 1927, with the kitchen and added den remodeled in 2013, much of the original foundation remains and contributes to the home's stellar authenticity. The front entrance gives way to a sweeping staircase, which includes a landing and paneled window seat, and ironwork that will leave you speechless. Just off the entryway, two formal living areas split by one of the many arched doorways found throughout. Both exude elegance through many of their details, one containing a Batchelder fireplace - something quite sought-after in the world of hearths of burning wood. A petite sunroom with walls of vintage painted glass and stunning tile work provide warmth to the already intimate ambiance. Making your way to the kitchen, a breakfast area greets you with its sage-colored built-in bay window that includes spectacular stained glass. Sea colored greens and blues add depth and color, without jarring the eye. The kitchen opens to the family room and overlooks the spacious backyard. Honed marble, farmhouse sinks, an expansive island, and beautifully lit cabinetry modernize it without taking away from the vintage-inspired aura felt throughout. An added den perches in the corner off the kitchen, with an eggshell finish on the walls, built-in bookcases and another one of the home's numerous fireplaces. A sizable wet bar splits the kitchen and dining room, perfect for hosting parties and entertaining copious amounts of guests no matter the season. Measuring at 5,778 square feet on the first and second floors, the upstairs portion doesn't diminish the radiance found below; rather it seems to captivate you all the more with rooms and doorways that seem to lead into honest magic. The master allows an abundance of natural light into it and the bath contains tile work that could be discussed for days. All of the bathroom maintain their originality through the antique dental sinks and suggestive colors. The guest rooms are both welcoming and delightful and a navy blue office with historic fireplace gives way to the outdoor second story patio. Limestone and neutral in color palette, the patio overlooks the spacious backyard and 753 square foot recently gutted carriage house. An additional 943 square feet of space can be found on the home's third floor, which currently serves as an office space. A full bath and extensive space allows it to function as a separate maid's quarters or separate bedroom. Making your way back downstairs and outside through one of the many doors that lead to the backyard bliss, you are tranquillized by the comfort of the original laundry shoot and vintage telephone station on the back staircase. The carriage house, having been taken completely to the studs, sits above the 3-car garage in all its glory. Modernized with a full kitchen, bathroom and bathroom, it coincides in similar taste with that found throughout the main house and for good reason. Another best kept secret of the home can be found in the 313 square foot cellar/meat locker.
