The traditional floor plan is replete with spacious, gracious rooms that help define the interior of the home.

The handsome foyer with custom staircase is a fine introduction to the graceful home and is flanked by interior spaces that are detailed with burnished hardwood floors, rich moldings, pocket doors and timeless elegance. The dining room, dressed with chair moldings, is large has ample room for big family gatherings and floor to ceiling windows that bathe the room in natural light. Additionally, it has the added benefit of a nearby secure silver storage closet. The living room features an ornate wood-burning fireplace as its focal point and is a superb setting for casual daily-living or more-formal entertaining.

The remodeled and updated kitchen will delight the epicurean with beautiful granite counters and center island, high-end appliances and a six-burner gas cook top. There is a separate breakfast room that opens up to the nearby family room which offers multiple built-ins and a cabinet for a television. French doors open on to the patio and allow calming views of the pool and exterior gardens. The sparkling pool and garden areas serve as focal points for outdoor entertainment, while towering trees and lush greenery evoke the pastoral splendor of the property’s historical roots.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms and two baths, along with a small study that could just as easily serve as a cheerful nursery. The master bedroom is a private retreat on the main floor away from the secondary bedrooms and is adjacent to the formal living room. The entry to the master bedroom is a charming alcove reminiscent of the historical style the home represents.
