About this home
There are homes that make an impression, and then there are homes that seem to exist in a
world entirely their own. Beyond a gated entrance on a quiet Western Section street, this
enchanting property unfolds amid sculpted European-style gardens, flowering vines, and
outdoor spaces composed with a designer’s eye. Clad entirely in scalloped shingles, the house
has an irresistible sense of romance that becomes even more captivating out back. Wisteria
spills across pergola-covered patios, while a sparkling blue pool is framed in handsome
herringbone brick. A pool house completes the scene, adding another distinctive architectural
element to grounds that feel beautifully established and wonderfully private. Inside, the scale is
a delightful surprise. Generous rooms are layered with details chosen to last well beyond
passing trends. Hardwood floors, French doors, graceful built-ins, distinctive lighting, and
thoughtfully selected wallpaper give every space an individual personality while creating a
natural sense of continuity throughout. Formal rooms flow easily together, connected by a
gleaming wet bar lined in glass and mirrors that keeps entertaining separate from the kitchen.
Here, a center island and expansive breakfast room provide ample seating and an easygoing
counterpoint to the more polished spaces. Three fireplaces add warmth and architectural
interest, including one in the centrally positioned family room. The main level continues to reveal
unexpected spaces. A library that can also accommodate overnight guests has its own side
entrance, while a dedicated garden room brings a wonderfully creative dimension to the floor
plan. Beyond the mudroom, a private two-room suite adds even greater flexibility. Multiple
staircases lead to an expansive upper level where the scale and layout allow spaces to feel
remarkably independent. The main suite is especially impressive, reached beyond a light-filled,
solarium-style landing and includes a dressing room and en suite. Romantic without feeling
precious and elegant without trying too hard, this Western Section home is filled with beauty,
individuality, and the sort of details that simply cannot be easily replicated....
