The home is 2,968 square-feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, on a large wooded lot and set amongst beautiful sycamore trees. The home has “craftsman influences,” with three stone fireplaces in the living room, dining room and master bedroom. It also touts hand-crafted beams, hardwood floors and French doors or windows in every room. The home has an exquisite master suite, a full-sized, fully-equipped eat-in kitchen which opens to an entertaining deck and a large, elegant dining room. The property also features a pool, spa and large outdoor entertaining area. The home once graced the glossy pages of the now-defunct Metropolitan Home Magazine.
