Privately nestled back upon 1.25 acres of impressive grounds, this stately Meadowbrook French Colonial Home features 4 bedrooms/4.5 baths, meticulously designed with Old World elegance, customization, and detailed craftsmanship. With a private, circular drive, a lighted tennis court, a charming, enclosed brick courtyard, an elevated bandstand, and a large outdoor terrace overlooking a landscape of mature trees, the property was designed to entertain. A developer built this 1972 home to showcase fine amenities and upgrades that the current owner cared for and enhanced. The elegant foyer, centered around a grand hardwood staircase, boasts Grecian marble flooring, exquisite, imported, silk Kent-Bragaline wall covering, and crown molding carrying through the home. The formal dining room features custom Scalamandré silk window treatments, a magnificent French crystal chandelier, custom molding, and French doors opening onto the European-styled courtyard for intimate, al fresco dining.
