Wesskum Wood is a uniquely quiet street with consistent gorgeous architecture. Generous front yard setbacks showcase wide lawns and gardens as an extension of Binney Park, where the street begins, to its ending at Riverside School. This handsome brick center hall colonial with slate roof has been sensitively expanded and updated to accommodate today's lifestyle. The traditional first floor layout has formal rooms flanking the front hall, and an updated kitchen/family room spans the back of the house, and opens to decks and terrace and a level yard beyond. Thoughtful additions include a solarium and library off the living room, each with separate outdoor entrances, and a lavish primary suite with sitting room and a well-designed dressing area. All four bedrooms are light-filled and separately situated on the second floor. The refinished basement playroom has a new full bath. Other highlights include a large laundry room and pantry with separate dishwasher, a wide covered side porch for deliveries, a two car garage, a complete hook up for generator and a fenced back yard. This is a rare gem without rival on one of the most sought-after locations in Riverside.
