This gracious brick and wood shingle home, built c. 1935, and situated on a private, wooded lot with pond, is a fine example of Colonial Revival architecture. Although landscaped plantings and groundcovers have been selected for less maintenance, behind the house terraced formal gardens merge with nature. Meandering wildflower paths highlight this well-established garden. This carefully maintained home has significant architectural details, high ceilings and large rooms. Coupled with the grace of a traditional floor plan are modern amenities like: renovated eat-in kitchen with laundry facility; first floor guest and family powder rooms; library off kitchen; wet bar in living room; sun-parlor overlooking backyard; central air conditioning; security system; full-height attic with finished room; and full basement with recreation room and fireplace.

Situated in the heart of Summit’s Northside, it’s within walking distance to both public and private schools as well as direct train service to Manhattan. This classic, custom Colonial has elegant, well-defined characteristics and is perfect for entertaining both inside and out. In a city known for the excellence of its school system and town services, this is an architecturally significant home in a sought-after neighborhood.
