About this home

A 1947 traditional brick does not usually get a living room like this: windows on three of four walls; Private yet vast territorial views and peek-a-boo views of the Sound; Coved ceilings and picture rails running unbroken through the entry and around to the large dining room. With all the views comes all the light and a rare sense of both spaciousness and privacy inside and out. The house sits on a high corner lot well above the sidewalk, private from the street. Guests are greeted with curb appeal on the front approach, while your daily return home is an easy flat approach from the detached two-car garage and three-car driveway. The kitchen is a masterpiece with an oversized AGA induction range as a center piece surrounded by massive custom storage and decorated with hand crafted tile. Bedrooms come in pairs: two and a bath up, two and a bath on the main, so either floor serves as the primary with its secondary beside it. Both levels' baths were remodeled with timeless class. Below, the walkout daylight basement runs the full footprint: theater room, rec room, gym space, a powder room between them, and a laundry and storage room with its own door to the yard. Outside, fully fenced and just like the inside, a rare feeling of privacy and spaciousness: Three patios, a garden, and maintenance-free landscaping on every exposure. And the location? Fantastic. Three groceries, five parks, arterials to anywhere for convenient, private, spacious living.
