About this home

This exceptional Colonial-style home in desirable Poet’s Corner offers soaring ceilings and a layout perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A striking double staircase frames the grand foyer with stunning millwork, dramatic ceilings, and fine craftsmanship throughout. Inside, you'll find large rooms filled with natural light and upscale finishes. The gourmet kitchen features a center island, casual dining area and ample custom cabinetry. The main level also includes a formal dining room, elegant living room, private den, and mudroom. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite has a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like marble bath with radiant floors, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms—one with an en suite bath—and two more full baths complete the second level. A finished third floor provides flexible space for a fifth bedroom or office. The lower level, with high ceilings, is unfinished and ready to be transformed into additional living space.
