Listing Description

Timeless character and exceptional craftsmanship meet modern comfort. This beautifully updated 5,000-square-foot Tudor captures the very best of its era with gorgeous walnut woodwork and distinctive architectural details rarely found in today's homes.

A grand, yet welcoming foyer greets you and guides you to the living room, formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen designed for serious cooking & gathering. It features a 7-burner Lacanche Sully range from France, a custom copper hood, custom cabinetry, & three pantries.

The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and a charming windowed nook. Just beyond, a bonus room with original blue slate flooring offers a more casual space. A powder room and large walk-in coat closet complete the main level.

Three separate sets of doors across the rear of the house create an effortless connection to the patio, completed in 2025. A striking staircase leads to the second floor with four spacious bedrooms and three full baths. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the primary suite includes a walk-in dressing room and a private balcony overlooking the side yard.

The finished third floor is ideal as a home office, teen retreat, or guest space. The attached 2-car garage has AC/heat, while the detached 2-car garage offers generous attic storage.
