Handsome stone walls and white picket fences border the entrance. The driveway courtyard bordered by Belgian block has the wonderful “estate crunch” from beautiful beige gravel. A portico shelters the front door with divided sidelights which opens into the center hall with a window seat under four leaded glass window panels at the stairway, an arched window on the landing and a powder room. The living room with a fireplace has beautiful banded oak floors and french doors to the broad verandah with water views and wide stairs to the garden. The formal dining room has a coffered ceiling, white panelled walls and a window seat under the wide window with views of the garden. The family room or solarium is a neat room with three exposures toward the water, a skylight and doors to the verandah. The cheerful kitchen has a breakfast area in a large, three-sided window bay, a center island and professional-style ap-pliances. Upstairs are seven rooms including the master bedroom with a renovated bathroom where the owner has an antique chest which is now the vanity. Adjoining this is an inviting library with a fireplace, an office area and water views – it could also be a bedroom. There are two additional bedrooms on the second, three on the third and two sparkling bathrooms. The freshly done basement is ideal for many uses (playroom, billiards, exercise, etc.). The carriage house has two garages and a two-room apartment, currently used for storage. The entire property sparkles with excellent maintenance, the decorating is masterful, and the combination on this famed road of many of our most elaborate waterfront estates is unique.
