About this home

Designed by noted architect H. Louis Duhring, this 1927 colonial revival sits on a hidden perch, high above Bells Mill Rd. This home will take your breath away with its lovely step-down entrance hall, graceful living room with gas fireplace, and eat-in kitchen that tops the list with its six-burner Viking stove, soapstone counters, custom cabinets, and overall flair. The second floor has a large master bedroom with fireplace and en-suite bath, followed by three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. An additional large room on the second floor houses the well hidden laundry facilities, and also serves as a den or additional bedroom. The third floor has a large bedroom and bath plus a second recreation or family room. The grounds are all at once, sophisticated, casual, and very inviting with great entertaining space plus room to play and garden. This is a very special house that has been renovated with attention to every detail with only the best materials.

Residential Single-Family Detached-3 District

The RSD, Residential Single-Family Detached districts are primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RSD zoning be applied in areas where the land use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes three RSD districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
