Property Description
Prestige early 20th Century Center Hall Colonial with a private driveway and 2 car detached garage situated in a park-like setting. This home has been beautifully renovated back to it's glory days while adding modern amenities that are needed for today's lifestyle. On the grounds of the .89 acre, you will find plenty of parking for guests along with a two car garage with a second floor, an area for the children or pets to run and play, flower beds, lush green lawn, trees, fish pond, and a wood shed. The grandeur of this home is seen both on the exterior and interior architectural designs. Walking into this home is like walking back to another era with its spectacular staircase, high ceilings, wide window sills, pocket doors, and mill woodwork that isn't easy to find in homes today. To the right of the center hall is the grand family room with a stately 2-sided floor to ceiling fireplace dividing the space into two sitting areas. One side of the fireplace has a wood stove insert and the other side is open for those evenings that you want to enjoy watching the fire. You can step out to the side porch from this area to enjoy some fresh air and view the fish pond. To the left of the center hall is the formal dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. The formal dining room has a walk-in pantry, built in corner china cabinet and an ornate ceiling. On cool days, step out to the veranda for your evening meal and then head down to the side yard to roast marshmallows at the firepit. The modernized kitchen with new oak floor and the butler's staircase to the second floor. Behind the kitchen is the first floor laundry and mudroom. You will find the half bath off of the center hallway. One of the remarkable features of this home is the large sitting room that you find at the top of the stairs on the second and third floors providing a central meeting place outside of the bedrooms. The second floor has four bedrooms and 2 full baths. The third floor has a large sitting area, a full bath and two more bedrooms. All the bedrooms are large and have plenty of closet space. The basement has high ceilings and currently has a mini- basketball court area for shooting baskets and an office with an outside entrance. This home comes equipped with a gas heater and hot water heater, 200 amp electric, radon system, new Harvey windows and doors , and a high quality exterior "rain and rinse" paint on the porch that is easily washed and maintained. Whether you are looking for a residential home, a bed and breakfast, or an AirB&B, this could be the perfect property for you.
