Perfectly located in a quiet pocket just off Magnolia Bridge, this lovely 1955 home has incredibly gracious living spaces, and is perched high for privacy while enjoying light from all sides. Tucked up and back from the street, the front entry walkway leads to a patio with koi pond and gazebo. A gas fireplace with original midcentury stone surround separates the formal living room from the adjacent baby-grand-sized room. This space is just as adept at entertaining a large group with style as it is enveloping you in coziness with a cup of tea and a good book. Formal dining room easily seats 8-10, with a large wall cut-out begging for a cool bar cart. A slider between kitchen and dining leads to the front patio large enough for lounging and al fresco dining...the nearby koi pond recharging your Zen. Eating nook in the kitchen looks out upon the front patio & offers a perfect perch for banging out emails on your laptop, or quietly musing about how good life is. Primary suite easily accommodates a king bed & opens to the side patio with planting beds. Large lower level family room has good ceiling height and gas fireplace with original midcentury stone and wood detail. 3rd (non-conforming) bedroom, 3/4 bath, and huge laundry (leading to the attached garage) round out the lower level. A 2000-bottle temp/humidity controlled wine room PLUS gas-connected generator with auto on/off makes it all seem too good to be true. Go ahead and pinch yourself...you're not dreaming :)
