A hand-laid brick and stone walkway invites you to the custom antique, glassed front door. Just inside, a discreetly placed coat closet and powder room off the Foyer offer everyday convenience. The elegant center hall begs you to enter with French doors that open to one of the several serene terraces, each perfectly placed to showcase the deep, curated lawn and invite the outdoors in.
To the right, the front-to-back living room is anchored by an impressive wood-burning fireplace and opens to yet another terrace through its own set of French doors.
To the left, an open office area leads to a Juliet balcony that connects seamlessly with the formal dining room. Tucked just beyond the office, you'll find a unique sunroom with Spanish tile flooring, a lovely bowed window, three built-in bookcases and a small fireplace. This is favorite room for the owners!

Just steps away, the remodeled kitchen includes a bright breakfast nook, a spacious prep area with granite counters, tons of cabinetry and a walk-in pantry.
