This home exudes the grandeur of the bygone era, complemented by a glamorous, and stylish aesthetic.

The heart of the home is a striking, modern kitchen complete with custom cabinetry and an oversized stone island designed for effortless entertaining. Contemporary conveniences include a main-floor laundry room and a mudroom with direct access to a rare 2-car attached garage. Upstairs, the grandeur continues with remarkable 11.5-foot ceilings and four spacious bedrooms. Oversized windows provide generous views and abundant natural light. The elegant primary suite features a walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite. Positioned on a gracious, oversized corner lot, this property offers unmatched outdoor living space in the heart of town, adorned with magnificent, mature trees and perennial gardens.
