The combination of plantings, terraces, tucked-away seating areas and pathways surround this light-filled three-bedroom, three-full baths, substantially renovated (in 2008), 1949 Cape Cod home. The gorgeous outdoor kitchen with Kalamazoo hybrid grill, pizza oven and two-burner stove top, a Perlick two-drawer refrigerator and an outdoor sink with hot/cold water is enhanced by granite counter tops, surrounding stone walls, blue stone patio and a lovely dining and sitting area.

Upstairs, the Ante Room entry into the Primary Bedroom Suite creates a secluded, private feeling for the bedroom and Master Bathroom. The Suite includes a window seat overlooking the garden, cathedral ceilings, and a fantastic, spacious closet which opens to an adjacent “hideaway” room that is perfect space for reading, yoga, meditation an office or extra storage. The air-jet tub in the Master Bathroom is ideal for relaxing while enjoying the garden views in the daytime or the stars in the evening.
