About the Home

Step into the 1920’s era of gracious living with updates and upgrades for today’s lifestyle. From the gourmet kitchen with GE Monogram appliances, including a double oven and gas range, to the granite counters and center island, entertaining is fun and easy! The formal dining room, right off the kitchen, is perfect for hosting dinner parties or casual meals. The front to back living room features original and exact replicas of period light fixtures, a wood burning fireplace and two doors to access the side covered porch, truly reminiscent of the era. A bedroom with full bath is on this first floor and would be a great room for an au pair, overnight guests, or a home office. The uses are plentiful. Upstairs is the primary bedroom suite with double walk-in closets and a “spa-like” full bath with soaking tub, separate shower and double sinks. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete this floor. The walk-up attic currently has a golf practice area and net, as the ceiling height is generous, along with storage room. The lower level is partially finished with built-ins and is a great “hang-out” room, workout area, craft room or anything you want it to be! Outside is the patio with BBQ area that includes a grill and refrigerator. The patio overlooks the private back yard with gorgeous landscaping and an irrigation system for easy maintenance. The detached 2-car garage and plenty of parking for visitors. Don’t let this 1920’s character colonial pass you by!
