Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a French Eclectic residence designed by noted architect Jerome R. Cerny. Cherished by only two owners. The dramatic foyer sets the tone. A striking wrought-iron staircase, curved walls, and refinished hardwood floors welcome you into the home. The living room features a gas fireplace, custom built-in bookcases, and elegant crown molding, while the formal dining room is highlighted by a beautiful bay window, creating the perfect setting for family gatherings. The sun-filled kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a bay window overlooking the backyard, quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a butler's pantry. A large second-floor landing opens to four bedrooms, each offering generous closet space. The cozy primary suite offers a gas fireplace and a renovated en-suite bath. The fourth bedroom includes its own renovated full bath, while two additional bedrooms share a connecting full bath. The lower level features a spacious family room with a third fireplace and custom built-in shelving and media area. The oversized utility room offers laundry along with flexible space for a home office, exercise room, storage, or additional living needs with room to add a fourth bath. The two-car attached garage offers convenience and additional storage. Enjoy a beautifully landscaped backyard with a large stone patio and plenty space for entertaining.
