About this home

For those who desire a country-estate feel in the heart of town close to everything - this is your house! This hidden gem of a street, this enclave of elegance, is a cul-de-sac of homes where Architecture, Interior Design & Gardens are at their best. Beautiful Stone residence in the style of an English Cotswold cottage was designed by the revered architect Stanley Anderson. This home has been added onto & renovated with a "to die for" kitchen, wonderful living spaces & cozy but nicely proportioned bedrooms. 3 full bathrooms are located on the second floor. Updated decor & large lower level with storage, work out rm, recreation rm w/ fireplace, built in book shelves & wine room. Beautiful setting. Two patios open to the garden lawn framed w/ trees & shrubs. A home rich in history was built for Randolph Owsley, a descendant of President John Adams. It has been a very happy home to all residents who were lucky to call this property home. A stone's throw to market square, yet private site.
