Property Description
Set back from the street with a long tree-lined approach, this timeless Georgian brick Colonial makes an immediate impression with its symmetry, scale and quiet confidence. Ideally located in one of the most coveted in-town settings, the home offers rare proximity to the train and local schools -- an exceptional convenience that elevates everyday living. Mature trees, manicured hedges and lush lawns create a sense of arrival that feels both private and refined, while extensive millwork, custom built-ins and elevated finishes reflect consistent quality throughout. Built in 1989, this residence stands apart in a neighborhood known for much older homes, offering the comfort, layout and infrastructure of more modern construction while honoring classic architectural details. A columned portico opens to a gracious center hall, flanked by formal living and dining rooms. The rear of the home unfolds into an expansive family room, breakfast room and kitchen inspired by Clive Christian design. A first-floor library with full bath offers flexibility as a bedroom suite while upstairs each bedroom is thoughtfully positioned and paired with its own bath, including a spacious primary retreat with luxurious bath and custom walk-in closet. The finished lower level offers areas for media, office, exercise, wine storage and more. Outdoors, a bluestone patio overlooks a deep level lawn framed by mature landscaping -- private, serene and perfectly suited for entertaining or quiet moments at home.
