About the Home
The drive curves beneath a canopy of mature trees before opening onto a circular court. Privacy hedges, lawn and a hydrangea-framed entrance set the home back from the road: a quiet first impression of a 1928 Dunthorpe estate.
Hallmark Hemenway proportion: a symmetrical Colonial Revival façade of grand multi-pane windows, evenly shuttered, with a graceful radius door at one corner and hydrangeas framing the entrance.
A striking entry opens to wide cased openings, rich oak floors and traditional millwork. Down the hall, a fireplace glows in the living room, and French doors lead out to the courtyard.
Light-filled and gracefully proportioned, with elegant wainscoting, rich oak floors and dual built-in corner hutches made for displaying a collection.
Coffered ceilings crown a kitchen built for cooking and gathering: a 6-burner Wolf range, dual deep single-basin fireclay farmhouse sinks, and a classic subway-tile backsplash.
Between kitchen and dining room, the butler's pantry acts as a pass-through and does the quiet work of entertaining: a prep station, hammered copper sink, built-in kegerator with draft tap, beverage fridge and dishwasher, with glass-front cabinetry and open shelving for the rest.
Extensive custom built-ins, a fireplace and rich oak floors give the room its warmth, while a wall of multi-pane windows brings in the garden. French doors open to the patio.
Light and spacious, with rich oak floors and a woodburning fireplace. The bath adds marble tile flooring, a double vanity with marble counters, a soaking tub and a frameless glass shower with dual heads, plus dual walk-in closets.
At the heart of the property, a central gathering courtyard anchored by a brick fireplace, with an outdoor dining area just beyond. Mature trees, privacy hedges and a spacious lawn give the grounds their seclusion, with hydrangeas along the borders and stepping stones leading on.
A separate, expansive pool and patio area sits apart from the main house, with its own pool house: a second setting for the property.
A retreat in its own right: a living and sitting area under a vaulted, beamed ceiling, a kitchen with gas range, oven, stainless undermount sink and full-sized refrigerator, a bedroom and a full bath, with French doors opening to the pool.
