Listing broker remarks

Set behind a gracious columned portico that creates a true sense of arrival, this classic Dutch Colonial is filled with storybook charm. Suffused in natural light, the home offers beautifully scaled living spaces, including an unusually large front-to-back living room with wood-burning fireplace, and an adjoining sunroom wrapped in 12 windows. A timeless recently renovated kitchen with double wall ovens and separate gas cooktop, balances style & function, while the finished third floor provides exceptional flexibility with a TV/exercise room and private office. With 4 bedrooms, a detached two-car garage, and easy bulkhead access to the basement, the home is as practical as it is inviting. Outdoors, the cleverly designed rear yard offers the best of both worlds: a generous lawn for play and a separate deck for entertaining, framed by a handsome row of hornbeam trees for privacy and structure. Just a short distance to Glover School, this is a home with warmth and enduring appeal.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
