Nestled in highly desirable and historic Wawaset Park, this alluring architectural treasure awaits. Straight out of a fairytale, this storybook Tudor home is characterized by its steeply pitched gable roofs, elaborate masonry chimney, and decorative half-timbering. These details, along with terra cotta roof tiles and copper gutters combine to present an offering of quality, charm and character that can’t be replicated today. A Japanese Maple, abundant plantings, and mature trees only enhance the beauty of the facade. Down a brick pathway, one approaches the main entry through a screened-in porch. The gracious foyer is flanked by two architectural arches, leading to the living and formal dining room. Anchored by a brick fireplace and built-ins, the living room presents a stunning coffered ceiling. Both the living and dining rooms have large windows that wrap around 3 sides of this home providing early morning brightness and golden hour calm. The eat-in kitchen boasts a neutral palette, with Jenn-Air stainless appliances, coffee station, and wine fridge. The combination of the cabinets, countertop finishes, and backsplash create a cohesive space. The kitchen windows overlook an exceptional rear yard reminiscent of an English courtyard with a private space to enjoy al-fresco dining and a large outdoor living room area. Fully fenced and with total privacy, the colorful plantings and fountain feature, complete this oasis that is the envy of all your neighbors. Back inside, the second floor has three bedrooms including an owner’s suite with walk-in closet, marble bath, custom built-ins, and pedestal sink. There is a shared hall bath and linen closet finishing off this floor. Up on the third floor, tucked into the roof eaves, there are two spacious bedrooms, hallway built-ins, multiple closets, and a full hall bath with clawfoot tub. The full basement is unfinished and provides great storage, as does the 1.5 car garage with remote entry. Stylishly embellished and impeccably maintained, this property imbues the character of its late 1920s period with modern amenities. Welcome home.
