A little 1940. A little updated magic. A whole lot of charm. This home will surprise you with how expansive it is, yet full of delight at every turn. Step inside for an enchanting living room with the focal point the bold, original stone fireplace. Keep going to a unique office space that has a lengthy built-in desk and dreamy outside views. Airy and open dining room is next and leads to the butler’s pantry and the “big reveal” of the kitchen, den and eat-in space, surrounded by windows and French doors leading out and to the screened porch with a beautiful, pitched ceiling. Back inside to the front wing of the main floor for two bedrooms, both with Juliette balconies, and a full bath. Head upstairs to the primary suite with more astounding, high ceilings and romantic French doors to a Juliette balcony, spa-like bathroom and a walk-in that you’ll love. Another bedroom and full bath are down the hall with laundry and a nice extra spot beyond that you can finish if/when you need the space or use it as the extra storage it currently enjoys. Down two flights to the terrace level and more “wows” to come when you see the loft-like space with a kitchenette, den and bedroom with full bath that is ideal for your au pair/in law or just extra space for you. And there is more! Need a workshop or studio? Terrace level has that, as well. Romance. Magic. Charm. Space. This home has it all and is ready for you to call it home.
