Property Description
Superb example of 1920s colonial revival architecture. No expense was spared in constructing this custom, block built home. The classic symmetrical entry opens to a gracious foyer and sweeping staircase. Each room is naturally light filled through the oversized windows. The living room is trimmed in African mahogany, with built-in cabinetry and access to the brick patio overlooking the landscaped back yard and saltwater pool. The dining room flows through the former butler pantry which has been transformed to a breakfast room and wet bar. In the recently remodeled kitchen visitors will discover smart design with high quality fixtures and appointments. Upstairs, the open hallway connects the master suite, dressing room, and two additional bedrooms and full baths.
