This custom-built 1916 Cape Cod jewel has long been a coveted and venerated landmark home in Farlow Hill. Twice featured in "House Beautiful", the first time in 1918, this home is sited on a 16,500 sqft lot and features an additional carriage house with potential for ADU, artist’s studio, gym or separate home office. The gracious main hallway is flanked on the left side by a front-to-back living room with large fireplace, and on the right by an elegant and fashionable fireplaced dining room and pantry. The modern kitchen boasts a Viking stove and stainless appliances, and incorporates a sun-filled breakfast area, leading to a gracious and sizable screened-in porch. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms (two with fireplaces), 3 baths, a dressing room and laundry. This pristine home offers central air, slate roof, copper-lined gutters, meticulously maintained systems, and an expansive architect-designed teak deck overlooking a private yard. The carriage house completes this fabulous offering!
