Indoors: A wrought-iron fence lined with neat hedges separates this property from the street. The front door, set beneath a covered porch, opens into a foyer with stairs that ascend to the second level and hardwood floors that continue throughout the house.
To the right is a family room with a fireplace that has a marble mantel. To the left is a living room connected to a dining room by a wide, column-flanked doorway.
Behind the dining room is an updated kitchen with a six-burner, double-oven Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a center island that holds a built-in microwave, a warming drawer and a beverage refrigerator. Off the kitchen are a powder room and an elevator that stops at all three floors.
Two bedrooms are on the second floor, including the primary suite, which has a bedroom with a decorative fireplace; a spacious closet and dressing room with built-in storage; and a full bathroom. Next door is a guest room that could be used as an office or sitting room. At the end of the hall is a second full bathroom.
The other two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the third floor, along with a cozy library and an open space that could be used as a den or playroom.
Outdoor space: Behind the house is a brick patio framed by grass and mature trees, with enough space for lounge chairs and a barbecue. The detached garage holds two cars and has a lofted storage area. There is room to park several more cars in the large driveway.
