Nestled at the end of a tree-canopied cul-de-sac, this early 20th-century stone home retains its authentic allure while incorporating 21st-century amenities. Its stately slate roof adds an extra touch of sophistication to an already exquisite home. Inside, the grand foyer beckons with expansive curved archways leading to vast formal spaces. These gracefully flow into adjoining living areas, showcasing a meticulously planned layout perfect for hosting large gatherings. Throughout the main level, captivating craftsmanship is on view from the bold stone fireplace in the living room, the intricately carved shelves in the impressive library, and the glass French doors opening to the sunroom. The kitchen has seen tasteful upgrades, featuring soapstone counters and premium appliances. The sleek black counters and matching deep farm sink pair beautifully with crisp cabinets, while an adjacent butler's pantry offers extra storage and preparation space. A unique touch to the kitchen is the light fixtures, salvaged from the old Trenton Police Department, infusing the space with a rich historical resonance. The powder room is also infused with charming elements of days past. Elegant staircases guide you to the upper-level bedrooms. The spacious main suite boasts its own fireplace, perfect for cozy nights, and a vast walk-in closet. An en-suite bathroom complements this luxurious space, while two more bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. The third floor features a guest bedroom, a second reading library, and another full bath. Intriguingly, local lore suggests the finished basement once served as a speakeasy, boasting a bar and a dedicated coat room. Outside, the detached garage expands the storage options. Additionally, this offering includes the adjoining lot, for an overall total of 0.56 +/- acres, providing additional green space and winter views of the river.

At the end of a very private tree-lined cul-de-sac, this turn of the Century stone home has been masterfully preserved, maintaining the charming details of its period while offering the convenient amenities of the 21st Century. A handsome slate, gabled and dormered roof with copper gutters and down spouts provide additional elegance to this undeniably beautiful home. The grand foyer flanked by large curved archways welcomes you into the spacious formal living areas which then themselves open into lovely additional living spaces. The well-thought out floor plan provides the grandest of spaces to host large gatherings for friends and family. Fetching curved lines and arches continue throughout the lower level gracing the stone fireplace and window in the living room, the carved wood display nook in the dining room, atop the built-in shelving in the stunning library, and the glass French doors in the sunroom and sitting room. The central kitchen has been nicely updated with oiled soap stone and higher-end appliances. A crisp white bead board ceiling complements the white cabinets and a butler's pantry just off the side provides an additional staging and storage area. Decorative metal stair railings take you to the second and third level bedrooms. The generous master bedroom with private bath features a walk-in-closet that spans the entire width and a second fireplace is ideal for chilly evenings. Legend has it the finished basement was once a speakeasy and is complete with a stone based bar and proper coat room! The two-car detached garage offers more storage in its own basement. One of the blue stone patios under mature trees provides seasonal river views.
