This Hooker Avenue gem, tucked away behind a row of mature trees, is simply stunning. Gorgeous stone walls and perfectly manicured landscaping frame the carefully crafted bluestone stairs which lead to this majestic beauty. The house sits atop a gentle hill. From the expansive front porch, enjoy exquisite views of treetops, and the surrounding scenery. As you enter the home, you are welcomed into a charming vestibule. The grand, main staircase is captivating. As you catch your first glimpse of the formal dining room with its tasteful, built-in china cabinets, you cannot help but imagine yourself hosting guests. The front to back living room, flooded with natural light and complete with built-in shelving and a woodburning fireplace, is equally impressive. The kitchen, offering an island cooktop, a double wall oven and loads of counter space is a cook's delight. The cozy casual dining area is bright and cheerful and is nicely complemented by a large bow window. An adorable powder room completes the first level. As you ascend the stairs to the second level, behold a lovely stained-glass window and custom shelving; an ideal reading or study alcove.
