*Transaction fell through *Impressive Normandy Tudor, designed in 1930 for life in "the country", holds its own with style and elegance in the 21st century. A few minutes drive to the PIP, 30 minutes to the GW Bridge, but a world apart from busy endeavors. Fieldstone, stucco and shingle exterior, thick slate roofing, and a sense of grand privacy when you enter the spacious foyer. Fourteen interesting rooms including five bedrooms; a huge dining room with built-in china cabinets; period living room with paneling surrounding the large fireplace; a relaxing library; and a charming stone-floored screened porch. Other luxe details include a magnificent open stairway from the foyer to a double landing, and then up to the attic; stunning crystal chandeliers in the foyer and the dining room; beautiful pegged oak floors on the first level; hardwood floors throughout the upstairs; fireplaces in the dining room and living room, and a third with a romantic Shakespearean tile surround in the large primary bedroom. En-suite bath in primary and two other full baths upstairs, all reflecting period styling. A private wing with two rooms and bath can be used as guest or au pair rooms (includes second access stairs to the lower floor). Set back from the road on 2.3 acres of lovely property with mature trees, flowering shrubs,inground pool(as is) and sweeping circular drive, this property comes to the market for the first time in sixty years.
