Let's begin with the curb appeal. From the moment you approach the property, you'll notice that this home proudly stands out in the neighborhood. The architecture pays homage to the classic 1926 Tudor design, with steep rooflines and decorative masonry that gives the facade an impressive, yet warm and inviting presence. The front yard has been lovingly landscaped, creating a lush, green welcome as you walk up the pathway to the front door. Take a beat before you step inside and appreciate all the details.
Once inside, you'll step into a lovely front foyer That same classic charm follows you inside, where original hardwood floors flow underfoot, and architectural details like wood trim and archways remind you that they just don't make homes like this anymore.
To the right, the luxurious living room welcomes you with plenty of natural light and an authentic Italian-imported (now gas) fireplace that serves as the room's crown jewel. It's a cozy space for chilly winter afternoons and a perfect focal point for gatherings in every season. With a wonderful wall of custom-cabinetry, there's room for all your objet d'art. Just off the living room, you'll find the spacious formal dining area which is ideal for everything from Sunday brunch casual everyday dining or holiday feasts .
