Nestled on nearly half an acre of manicured gardens, the home welcomes you with light-filled rooms, high ceilings, exquisite mouldings, hardwood floors & natural flow between formal & casual entertaining spaces. The foyer features a gracious staircase & opens to a front-to-back living room with wood-burning fireplace, and an enclosed sunroom. To the right, an inviting dining room leads to a sunny kitchen with island & seating, open to a family room addition with oversized windows looking out on the garden. A powder room, mudroom & laundry complete the first floor. The second floor has a spacious primary suite with fireplace, walk-in closet, sunroom/dressing area & en-suite bath; two additional bedrooms, an updated bath & linen closet. Two bedrooms & bath are on the third floor. The large yard offers a lovely private terrace and 2-car garage.
