Property Description

Stately Center Hall Colonial with Carriage House in the coveted Hillside Historic District, originally designed by architect John Benson and masterfully enhanced over time to honor its historic character while elevating it with modern luxury. Set on .72 acres, the property offers a serene, fully fenced backyard, beautifully tended landscaping, and an expansive paver patio ideal for effortless outdoor living and entertaining.

Inside, the home reflects years of meticulous stewardship—showcasing 5 bedrooms, 3.2 baths, 5 fireplaces, soaring 9.5' ceilings, three sets of original pocket doors, and exquisite millwork throughout. Thoughtful updates have been seamlessly integrated, from carefully refinished wood floors to updated lighting, and enhanced mechanicals that preserve the home’s integrity while providing everyday comfort.

The chef’s kitchen blends timeless design with top-tier appointments including Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf 6-burner range with griddle, custom cabinetry, and a renovated butler’s pantry. The sunroom, formal rooms, and flowing first-floor layout create spaces that feel warm, elegant, and inviting.

The primary suite offers a fireplace, a spa-like bath, and a custom dressing room. Additional conveniences include a second-floor laundry room, updated plumbing and electrical systems, 2-zone CAC, and a gracious staircase leading to the third floor with two additional bedrooms and a full bath.

Outside, the home’s exterior has been consistently cared for with repaired cedar shingles, refreshed paintwork, a reconstructed front porch and stairs, and attention to every detail. The impressive Carriage House accommodates 4+ cars and features a large two-floor loft with limitless potential—studio, office, gym, or guest space.

Historic, refined, and exceptionally maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own a landmark residence that lives beautifully for today.
