home is listed for $2.695 million.
The new house — a traditional
of nearly 4,000 square feet — sits
back from the street and is fronted
by a horseshoe driveway. Exposed
brickwork, a trio of dormers and a
covered front porch lend classic
curb appeal to the two-story. Pic-
ture windows paired with black
shutters create visual contrast
against clapboard siding.
Inside, the 1940s house has a
living room with a fireplace, a
formal dining room and a vaulted-
ceiling family room that adjoins
the kitchen. Four bedrooms and
five bathrooms includes a master
suite with a fireplace and French
doors that open to a balcony. A
lower level holds a game room and
sauna.

the living space outdoors. The
home sits on about two-thirds of
an acre with mature trees, lawn, a
fire pit and a swimming pool with a
spa.
