Offering all the charm and elegance of a true country residence yet a short distance to the vibrant Devon Yards and Whole Foods complex, #318 is sited in one of those idyllic neighborhoods that feels and lives more like the 1950s than bustling 2021. Two flat, verdant acres feature a magical combination of manicured gardens, raised vegetable beds, flat lawns, nature paths and areas of dense trees and varied foliage. A green house provides shelter for plants in the cooler months while centennial rhododendrons and spectacular clusters of azaleas, clematis and climbing hydrangea dazzle the eye from spring through autumn. A circular drive delivers you to the front entrance and beyond to the detached 2 car garage, storage shed and covered side entrance. Open to a wide Foyer with views of the sweeping staircase, charming Den with wood burning fireplace, original woodwork and connection to the Living Room and three season screened Side Porch. To the left the custom eat-in cherry kitchen, sparkles with a full sweep of eastern facing windows, with a breakfast table smartly positioned to take in that morning light. Expertly outfitted with granite counter tops and ample prep and storage space, the high end appliances include Miele double ovens, prized induction cooking, stainless steel refrigeration and two deep sinks. A swinging service door opens to a large, gracious Dining Room with field stone fireplace, wide plank floors, ornamental chair rail and seamless flow into the Living Room and Sunroom.
