Property Description

Storybook Architecture + Timeless Elegance + Resort-Like Living! "They don't build them like this anymore" — and even more than a century ago, this exceptional custom-built home was a remarkable achievement. Designed by renowned architect Ernest Flagg, also celebrated for Manhattan's Singer Building, this distinctive cottage-style residence showcases fieldstone construction, slate roofing, and extraordinary craftsmanship throughout. A Pewabic-tiled foyer introduces the home, where original cherry flooring and trim add warmth and character. The Living Room is a showstopper, featuring a cathedral beamed ceiling, fireplace surrounded by iridescent Pewabic tile, and beveled-glass French doors opening to the solarium. Cathedral ceilings continue into the Dining Room and beautifully remodeled Kitchen, which combines Shaker cabinetry, stone counters, stainless steel appliances, and a center island. At the heart of the home, the enchanting solarium creates a light-filled gathering space with direct access from the Living Room, hallways, and bedroom. Bathrooms beautifully blend vintage character—including Pewabic and period tile—with modern comfort, including a Euro-glass enclosed shower. Step outside and discover a private, resort-like setting designed for relaxation and entertaining. The remodeled in-ground pool and raised spa create an exceptional outdoor retreat, surrounded by mature landscaping, privacy, and thoughtfully designed hardscape. A home of this architectural distinction is rarely found—and this one has been admired by many and cherished by those fortunate enough to call it home. Numerous improvements include: heating and cooling, roofing, fully remodeled kitchen, bathroom updates, French drain system, electrical, landscaping, and hardscape.
