An expertly renovated and expanded Western Section Colonial is the picture of perfection perched high on a manicured corner lot. Plaster walls, working shutters and a screened porch are some of the '20's era features that have grown more appealing with time. A new garage and guest wing by Lasley Brahaney maintain the period aesthetic, while meeting today's desires with a mudroom, separate staircase and high ceilings. Upper level laundry and a private bath for each of the 5 bedrooms are other welcome changes. Formal rooms gracious in style and size invite entertaining and flow easily into comfortable family areas, including a Great Room, also by Lasley Brahaney. The high-end custom kitchen cheerfully done in a fresh shade of green opens to sitting and breakfast rooms. Window seats encourage appreciation of the carefully planned garden with an elevated lawn, stone wall and patio. With a custom closet and claw foot tub in a sparkling marble bath, the master suite epitomizes the home's balance of old and new.
