VICTORIA DICKINSON & ASSOCIATES

Description

Welcome to this stately stone colonial in Greenville on Overbrook Road of Westover Hills Woods. With history dating back to the 1930’s, this home stands out as one of the finest examples of colonial stone architecture. The tasteful landscaping and stone pathway enhance the elegance of the 1935 stonework. When you enter the foyer with center stairs and curved original newel post and gorgeous random width and pegged floors, to your right is a generous sunken living room with high ceilings, built in bookcases and gas fireplace. The long hall continues to the back of the house with one of several doors to the backyard, allowing both doors to be open for cross breezes. The back hallway is graced by built in bookcases and an elegant powder room completely updated this year. Around the corner is a charming study with gas fireplace. Built in book cases and a window seat add to the character and functionality of this room. Picture yourself curled up on a winter’s day with the fireplace going and a good book or a daydream as you gaze out on the beautiful brick patio. From the study, a sunroom with stone floors and baseboard heating adds another access point to the patio. The flow of this area of the house is perfect for entertaining throughout the seasons. To the left of the foyer is an elegant dining room, easily seating 12! Behind is the eat-in kitchen with granite counters and marble backsplash. The abundance of cabinets, gas cooking and neutral colors of this kitchen are sure to please any chef. At the back of the kitchen, a stairway gives private access to the suite above. From the kitchen is a mudroom, also entered from a side door, and a main level laundry room, that has yet another door to the back yard. Behind the mudroom is a brightly lit family room with the 3rd gas fireplace. A full bathroom, makes the room adaptable as a main floor bedroom (not counted in the 5 bedrooms of the house). The second floor holds four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The primary bedroom is spacious with an attached office/sitting room, its own private balcony, oversized closets/dressing area, and en suite bathroom. Two more bedrooms are connected with a jack n’ jill bathroom. At the back of the house accessed by the 2nd floor hall or kitchen stairs is an en suite guest room with a large storage closet. The 3rd floor holds the 5th bedroom, an updated bathroom, a large hall between that could be a study, and a huge closet perfect for off season clothes. This floor could be a private guest/nanny suite or easily closed off for only occasional use. The basement level is freshly painted and dry and runs the length of the house. With a separate room that is currently used as an exercise room, there is also plenty of area to finish off or keep as an excellent workshop or storage area. An oversized two-car attached, turned garage completes the home. The landscaping in the backyard is simple and gracious. Accenting the renovated brick patio area in the “L “ of the home is a lovely border garden. Mature plantings set off a cozy sitting area and the remainder of the large, flat back yard is bordered by a complete privacy fence, allowing pets, or a pool to be added. Beyond the original charm of the home room you will also find many updates. Within the last approx. 10 years, all windows in the home were replaced with Anderson True Bright Light/Easy Clean, 5 mini-splits were added in several rooms for additional comfort, hardwood flooring refinished and added, kitchen upgraded, hot water heater (2020)and furnace replaced (2014 & 2019). And in 2023 a NEW roof was added! You must see all the details yourself to appreciate the way the space flows from one room to the next for easy navigation and entertaining, yet also affords privacy for all occupants of the home.
