Property Description
Elegant ? how else can one describe this beautiful and impressive 1941 stone home? Once named "Beechwood" at some point in its history, this 2.3 acre, 5,700 sq foot estate is now available for sale. Legend has it that the home was originally built by a doctor for his bride. That may be a rumor, but there is no disputing the construction of this home. The thick tan and quartz stone walls were clearly built by a skilled mason with attention to detail such as the keystones over each window. These builder details continue throughout the home with the three story turned staircase where landings and large windows allow a view of all facets of the property; the thick crown molding, 12 over 12 mullioned windows and more. Built for entertaining, this home has not only incredible "bones" but great "flow". Multiple entrances access the screen porch which is connected to the pool area by a stone patio. There are separate garden "rooms" beside the screen porch and in the cool shade provided by the stone home itself. The pool is built for lounging in the sun or lap swimming. The accompanying spa is perfect for warming muscles after a few of those laps. The adjacent pool house includes an outdoor shower, half bath and wet bar. Each of five bedrooms has their own bathroom suite, offering privacy for many household members and guests. Four of the spacious bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. The third floor accessed by the wide main staircase offers the fifth bedroom and bath, plus two more multi-purpose or guest rooms. The sixth bedroom is an apartment complete with kitchenette over the 3-car stone garage which was built in a style that matches the historic construction. You cannot build a home today in this location with this quality and oasis like property, at this price. Book your showing tour today!
