The gracious main hallway is flanked on the left side by a front-to-back living room with large fireplace, and on the right by an elegant and fashionable fireplaced dining room and pantry. The modern kitchen boasts a Viking stove and stainless appliances, and incorporates a sun-filled breakfast area, leading to a gracious and sizable screened-in porch. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms (two with fireplaces), 3 baths, a dressing room and laundry. This pristine home offers central air, slate roof, copper-lined gutters, meticulously maintained systems, and an expansive architect-designed teak deck overlooking a private yard. The carriage house completes this fabulous offering!
