Description
Nestled in a Magical Garden Setting – Historic British Tudor Transformed for Modern Living Originally built in 1894, this enchanting British Tudor has been thoughtfully updated to suit today’s lifestyle, all while retaining its timeless character. Set amid lush, curated gardens, the home invites you to relax on the charming wraparound sunroom-perfect for lazy afternoons. Step inside to a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace, setting the tone for the warmth and comfort found throughout. A flexible floor plan offers a gracious living room and library, ideal for multiple gathering spaces. The formal dining room is perfect for special occasions and entertaining. Renowned architecture firm Morgante Wilson designed a seamless addition, including a sun-filled family room and a chef’s kitchen loaded with high-end features. A bright breakfast room overlooks the spectacular gardens, and the layout flows beautifully with a butler’s pantry and practical mudroom. Upstairs, the second floor features a true primary suite with a tranquil bedroom, private sitting room, and a luxurious spa-like bath complete with a statement soaking tub and steam shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a large laundry room complete this level. The third floor offers two more spacious bedrooms and another full bath-perfect for guests, offices, or playrooms. The lower level, excavated beneath the addition, boasts soaring 12′ ceilings and includes a media room and game room. High-end mechanicals are found throughout the home, including heated flooring, smart home technology, newer windows, and a new roof. Outside, the gardens are a dream-featuring a native garden, a rain garden and easy-care perennial beds designed for beauty and low maintenance. The former horse barn has been converted into a 2-car garage, adding even more character to this special property. A paver pad off the alley provides a third off-street parking space.
