More Insights
Built in 1902 (124 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1902, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and guesthouse. The kitchen features modern, high-end stainless steel appliances (Viking refrigerator visible), white shaker cabinetry, white subway tile backsplash, and a mix of marble and butcher block countertops, all in pristine condition. The guesthouse appears to be newly built or fully renovated with modern finishes, including shiplap walls, skylights, and a contemporary bathroom with penny tile and glass shower. The main house bathrooms are a mix of meticulously restored classic styles (pedestal sinks, subway tile, clawfoot tub) and modern updates (blue tile shower). Hardwood flooring is consistent throughout and appears recently refinished. The overall aesthetic is luxurious, well-maintained, and meets current quality standards, indicating a significant renovation within the last 5-15 years, with key areas appearing virtually new. While the listing notes potential age-related infrastructure concerns and doesn't explicitly mention central AC, the visible components are of excellent quality and condition, making it move-in ready with no deferred maintenance.

About this home
PRIVACY. Set on over one-half acre. Privately accessed and exceptionally secluded, an acquisition of this pedigree is exceedingly uncommon. A traditional home with hallmark Craftsman detailing, offering four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a pool, a pool/guesthouse, and seldom-found double flat lawns that unfold into a true park-like estate. The main level is architectural and composed: a double-seated living room arranged for paired conversations, a dining room equally suited to long winter dinners or ordinary Tuesdays, and a media room that favors books and thought over spectacle. But you will know you are home the moment you enter the kitchen. It is a gathering place. People linger here. They cook together. They stay. Wrap-around French doors and windows do more than frame the yards, pool, guesthouse, and basketball hoop, they dissolve into them. The pool/guesthouse, built with the same care as the main residence, is positioned to offer the flexible multi-function living you seek. Upstairs, the en-suite primary includes city views, a walk-in closet, and an adjacent sitting room ideal for an office or exercise space. Two additional en-suite bedrooms complete the level. There is a moment on the private balcony, overlooking the estate, when the search ends. Not because this home competes with others, but because it removes the need to compare. If you have been seriously considering other properties, be prepared to change your plans.
