This beautifully restored compound was originally architect-designed by Stringham and the splendid architecture opens to walled, level gardens of more than a 1/3 of an acre! There’s plenty of room for a pool! The sellers have raised their children here and enjoyed this home for almost 30 years. The main house includes a living room grand enough for concerts and intimate enough for quiet cocktails by the fire, and the updated kitchen/family room is a cook's dream and opens to the gardens for picking fresh herbs. The carriage house with huge artist/writer studio, bedroom, bath and kitchenette above 2 car garage has been the residence of distinguished artists and writers. The charming garden cottage, which is not included in the sq. footage, is the perfect guest suite or office. Truly a rare opportunity for a rare property close to everything with maximum privacy!
