Property Description

Perched atop prestigious Douglas Manor on a beautifully landscaped 9,200-square-foot corner lot, this classic Colonial offers timeless character, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern updates. A gracious wood-paneled entry hall welcomes you with multiple access points to the main living spaces, a convenient powder room and a coat closet. The expansive living room showcases original wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed beamed ceilings, rich wood trim, and a striking wood burning fireplace, while oversized windows bathe the space in natural light. Original solid wood doors connect the living room to both the formal dining room and entry hall, preserving the home’s historic charm. Just off the foyer is a versatile first-floor room with an adjoining full bath, ideal as a guest bedroom, home office, den, or playroom. The bright eat-in kitchen features oversized windows, a custom butcher-block countertop, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and newly installed wood flooring that extends into the original pantry, where abundant cabinetry provides exceptional storage. A door from the kitchen leads to the porch and backyard deck, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining.
The formal dining room is a true showpiece, featuring original wide-plank floors, decorative crisscross ceiling beams, an impressive gas fireplace, built-in corner cabinets, custom wallpaper, and coordinating draperies. A charming Dutch door opens to the sunroom, where two walls of windows overlook the beautifully landscaped grounds, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or quiet relaxation. The second floor offers four bedrooms, a linen closet, and a built-in bookcase in the hallway. The spacious primary suite features two large closets, an en-suite bath, recessed lighting, and three windows that fill the room with natural light. The additional bedrooms offer generous proportions, ample closet space, and original hardwood floors beneath the carpeting, with two currently serving as a home office and TV room.
The lower level is divided into four functional spaces, including a laundry room with a washer, dryer, and double utility sinks, along with abundant storage. A heated two-car garage with interior access provides year-round convenience, complemented by an additional carport with access from East Drive.
Rich in architectural detail, history, and warmth, this exceptional Douglas Manor residence presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

HOA fee $900.00 annually.
