Unique features: Window seats, leaded glass and an antique chandelier? This three-story Colonial Revival flaunts its age, cozying up to the past on a nearly 3-½ acre estate in Ruxton. There are decorative carved mantles on the fireplaces, reclaimed heart pine flooring in the kitchen and original double-pocket doors in the living room.
Built in 1913, the stucco home beckons with a covered, wrap-around porch and stone gazebo out front, plus a small hill for winter sledding. There are hardwood floors and bay windows, both upstairs and down. The two-story foyer features a curved staircase leading to the primary suite, with a spacious bedroom, dressing room and bath. The latter has Italian marble-topped vanities, wall toiletry shelves, a walk-in closet and custom plantation shutters. Of the six bedrooms, three have ornate fireplaces. On the third floor is a large carpeted playroom with storage cubbies for kids.
The sizeable kitchen includes 42-inch custom maple cabinets, marble counters and a cast iron farm sink. Out back are wide bluestone walkways leading to a rear patio with a handsome brick fireplace for grilling. Beyond, under dappled sunlight, is a heated, in-ground 50-foot swimming pool. A lighted breezeway joins the detached two-car garage to the back porch, and a nearby storage shed awaits its fill.
