About this home

Designed by William Charles Hays, this elegant + historic Claremont Ct residence is reminiscent of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Set back from the street in midst of romantic gardens & mature Oak trees, the home is accessed through a wrought iron gate as part of a classic ivy-covered brick enclosed patio. Within the stately home, classic lines, vaulted ceilings and handsome period details characterize the architecture throughout. A formal foyer leads to gracious living room, sun-filled dining room and a remodeled kit with ample storage & modern appliances. Upstairs, 3BR's are beautifully appointed & boast maximum privacy. Additional BR on main floor & the lower floor provide guest & au-pair quarters. Downstairs, a spacious family or hobby room can also be accessed by its own entrance. Outside, an elegant seating area & park-like flowering garden, professional outdoor sports court. Well maintained & meticulously preserved. Has been in the same family for 61yrs!
