Elegant 1.5-story residence ideally located in Williamsborough Square, a private enclave of just 12 architecturally unique homes overlooking a beautifully landscaped common area with pavilion. Originally built by John C. Williams, the property was meticulously renovated and enlarged by Walton Building Company (2013) resulting in a light-filled, open plan with a warm, sophisticated interior. The double bay window facade with paneled, inset porch opens to an inviting front hall, wrapped by a generous family room with fireplace, a state-of-the-art kitchen anchored by a massive island and spacious dining room (or breakfast nook). The well-proportioned spaces are further enhanced by the 9' ceilings, heart pine/oak flooring, exquisite moldings/built-ins, and high-end lighting. The two bedrooms down include a resort-like primary suite with his-n-her walk-in closets, double vanity, Kohler soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second floor includes a spacious landing, three large bedrooms and two baths. Behind the house is a wonderful covered porch that overlooks the well-landscaped courtyard and generous side yard. Ample parking in front, plus driveway with easy access to the side stoop (2-steps). Fun, caring neighbors in a superb location. Exceptional property!
