About this home

Utterly charming and impeccably maintained vintage shingle style home set back from the road and ideally sited on a spectacular 1.23 acre lot. Beautifully proportioned rooms, a gracious layout, high ceilings, pretty architectural detail and oversized windows are just some of its outstanding features. In addition to the welcoming reception hall, the first floor includes a spacious stylish white kitchen, butlers pantry, inviting family room with handsome fireplace, graceful living and dining rooms, plus a large screened porch ... all providing lovely views of the park-like backyard. Expansive 2nd floor can be accessed via grand main staircase or back stairs and offers 6 bedrooms: a pretty, private master bedroom and 5 additional bedrooms (bedroom 2 with ensuite bath currently used as part of the master suite). This home has a classic, timeless design and thus is ideal as is, but it also offers fabulous expansion potential. Exceptional concrete construction!

Single-Family Residential District

The requirements set forth in this chapter, together with other provisions set forth in the Building Code of the Village, have been adopted in order to provide for a single-family residential environment, of an estate character, where the degree of improvements upon an individual parcel of land is generally subordinate to the landscape. Due to the mature character of development within this district, such requirements are also intended to assure that future modifications to existing structures, or the replacement of existing structures with new structures, will not alter the scale and general character of established neighborhoods. In this regard, the requirements set forth in this chapter are further intended to foster development which is compatible, in general, with the character of existing single-family development within the immediate neighborhood with respect to external architectural scale, landscaping and other site improvements.
