Functioning like a private, four-season treehouse where the home's ample windows frame spectacular views of nature at every turn, this meticulously cared-for home, one of the last of the storied Woodward builds, is a true gardener’s paradise that feels blissfully disconnected from the outside world. Wander down the long stone path from Gravers Lane, flanked by lush plantings and a striking paperbark maple tree, to arrive at the home's entrance. The seamless connection between the interior and these gorgeous grounds is established on the main level, where a roomy foyer with a convenient coat closet and powder room leads to an open-layout living and dining space. The living room features two walls of striking windows which frame the lush landscape, and a cozy gas fireplace surrounded by custom built-in shelving. Just steps away, the ample dining area transitions beautifully to the outdoors via French doors, leading to a stone-paved side patio perfectly positioned for al fresco dining or quiet afternoons lounging beneath the weeping cherry tree. The recently refreshed kitchen is well-equipped with brand new stainless steel appliances, and was utilized as the home kitchen of a professional chef. A convenient door opens right out to a beautiful brick-paved patio, perfect for grilling.
