The second and third floors offer four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and abundant attic storage, providing ample room for family and guests while preserving the character and charm of this historic home. Outside, the property transforms into an extraordinary private retreat designed for effortless entertaining and year-round enjoyment. A spectacular 13’ x 40’ in-ground Gunite pool, complete with an electric cover and flagstone coping, anchors the backyard. A shade pergola, outdoor shower, professional LED lighting, and expansive brick hardscape create an inviting setting with three distinct outdoor dining areas. The fully irrigated grounds are beautifully landscaped with a formal boxwood and peony parterre, mature plantings, lush lawn, and thoughtfully designed garden spaces. A custom garden shed, architecturally crafted to complement the main residence, adds both beauty and functionality, while a private driveway provides off-street parking for two to three vehicles.
