Built in 1938 by noted architect Jerome Cerny, this storybook Tudor is a rarely found combination of unprecedented, warm character and an architecturally sympathetic renovation, providing the visitor with a feeling of substance and legacy glamour. Inside, a charming foyer welcomes you with a graceful staircase, two coat closets, and rich parquet flooring. The living room features a fireplace, angled windows with a window seat, and French doors leading to a screened porch with Lexan panels for cooler days. A beautifully wood paneled library includes its own fireplace, while the dining room offers bay windows and French doors opening to the patio and portends many wonderful entertaining possibilities! The recently updated kitchen blends period charm with modern function, featuring Thermador gas range and dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom hood, glass-front built-in china cabinet, deep wide drawers, slate floors, marble countertops, farmhouse sink with nickel-plated faucet, pot rack, and an eat-in area framed by gorgeous wood windows. A happy and conducive place to challenge your culinary skills or relax with friends. Additional first-floor highlights include a powder room with Calista vanity, nickel faucets,Toto fixture. New lighting, a walk-in pantry, office, and a large family room with a two-story stone fireplace, slate flooring, and French doors to the yard, add elegance. Beamed ceiling features a custom limewash finish by Da Vinci, while a leaded glass window overlooks the front garden. Large office/mudroom could be converted to a 4th bedroom. Upstairs you will be impressed with two king-size en suite bedrooms plus a primary suite, all recently updated. The primary bath features gorgeous, Chloe subway tile, custom linen cabinet with pull-out hamper, a large custom vanity with quartz counters, Perrin faucets, and Toto fixtures. The second bath includes marble and subway tile, custom vanity, polished nickel fixtures, separate dressing area, and generous linen storage. A third bedroom bath offers slate flooring, custom vanity with quartzite counter, and additional linen storage. A loft off the second bedroom-currently used as a music room-overlooks the stunning stone fireplace below and lends a view to family activities! The lower level offers a flexible rec room or office, workout space, extensive cabinetry, counters, and mechanical storage. Set on nearly half an acre with land gently sloping to the road, the home is crowned by a fully restored Ludowici tile roof and surrounded by mature evergreen boxwoods, cottage gardens, and layered landscaping with lighting throughout-exceptional curb appeal from every angle. A detached oversized two-car garage with a separate drive offers space above with future potential. The fully fenced backyard features two brick patios, a storage shed, and multiple sets of French doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living.
