To your left of the foyer is a 9-foot beamed ceiling living room with a large stone fireplace, leading to a den/study, also with fireplace and second stair to the Primary suite above. To your right is a large multi windowed dining room, overlooking trees and the park, a classic, updated kitchen with stone counters and tiled splash, and a large breakfast room with adjacent bath, mud room, and grill access. Floors, stair rails, and ceiling beams are pre-blight, “hand hewn” American Chestnut.

Typical of the rustic charm of some French Country style homes, the exterior features a clay tile roof, locally quarried stone and stucco wall surfaces, and multiple, terraced gardens, front and back. The chestnut-stained wooden garage and remote-controlled door, lead to a four-car, off street, “aggregate” paved parking pad with adjacent stone trash enclosure. The house was built in 1934, with multple renovations and updates by the current owner beginning in the early 2000s through 2020. The land consists of two lots totaling .56 acre, directly overlooking and adjacent to the park.
