This Southern style cape exudes timeless elegance. From the
welcoming gas lanterns to the covered terrace overlooking a lush
landscape and pool, each space is designed for gracious living and
entertaining. Enjoy the charm and warmth of this mint condition
house with 5700 sf of living on three levels with a side load garage and
circular drive on a quiet cul-de-sac with plenty of parking. A mahogany
gate in an ivy-covered brick wall leads to the fully fenced backyard
lovingly landscaped over 25 years with flowers and plantings. Inside,
meticulous renovations highlight rich millwork and upgraded details
throughout the main level with a floor plan to accommodate any life
style and great flow inside to outside. The custom entry with leaded
glass sidelights and transom lead to a marble foyer and gleaming
hardwood floors through the main and upper levels. Off the foyer a
bookshelf-lined study, including lighted mahogany display cases, leads
to the main level master owners suite with two walk-in closets and a
luxury marble bath with oversized shower and bathtub. The spacious
dining room features two chandeliers and built-in lighted china
cabinets, with a gas fireplace and large bay window. Take a few steps
into the sitting room for cocktails or coffee with your guests. The
