Description

Stately Center Hall Colonial with Carriage House in the coveted Hillside Historic District, originally designed by architect John Benson and thoughtfully enhanced to preserve its historic charm while adding modern luxury. Set on .72 acres, the fully fenced property features manicured landscaping and an expansive paver patio ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. Inside, meticulous stewardship is evident throughout 5 bedrooms, 3.2 baths, 5 fireplaces, 9.5' ceilings, three original pocket doors, and exquisite millwork. Refinished wood floors, updated lighting, and improved mechanicals blend seamlessly with the home's character. The chef's kitchen offers Cafe Series refrigeration and range, custom cabinetry, and a renovated butler's pantry. Sunroom, formal spaces, and a gracious flow create warm, elegant living areas. The primary suite includes a fireplace, spa-like bath, and custom dressing room. A second-floor laundry, updated plumbing and electrical, 2-zone CAC, and a third floor with two bedrooms and full bath add convenience and flexibility. Exterior updates include repaired cedar shingles, fresh paint, and a rebuilt front porch. The Carriage House accommodates 4+ cars and features a two-story loft ideal for a studio, office, gym, or guest space. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained historic landmark ready for modern living.
