Offered privately for the first time in decades, this iconic storybook residence presents a rare opportunity to own one of Glen Oak Acres' most cherished homes. Nestled on a breathtaking, estate-like setting, the home seamlessly blends timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and a remarkably versatile floor plan. Lovingly maintained by just two owners throughout its history, it has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years while preserving the warmth, character, and authenticity that make it truly irreplaceable.
Gracefully set back from the street behind mature landscaping and an expansive front lawn, the home immediately captivates with its striking curb appeal, rare slate roof, original dentil molding, rich hickory hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, and solid-core doors. Every detail reflects a level of quality rarely found today, while beautifully proportioned rooms and inviting gathering spaces create a home that feels both elegant and effortlessly livable.
One of the home's defining features is its extraordinary main-level living wing, allowing everyday living to unfold almost entirely on one level without compromising the scale or sophistication of a luxury estate. Thoughtfully designed for flexibility, this expansive wing includes a spacious primary suite, dedicated office, generous living areas, an ADA-compliant full bath with zero-threshold access and wider doorways, and plumbing already in place for a future kitchenette. Whether accommodating multigenerational living, extended guests, live-in family, or simply offering the convenience of single-level living, this exceptional space is a rare and invaluable amenity—especially in Glen Oak Acres.
The second level offers a private retreat all its own. Occupying its own secluded wing, the luxurious primary suite features a romantic fireside sitting room, an expansive walk-in closet, and a remarkable peaked-ceiling sanctuary transformed from the original attic. Overlooking the treetops, this one-of-a-kind space is equally suited as a meditation room, reading retreat, art studio, fitness room, playroom, or private escape.
The grounds are equally exceptional. Surrounded by trees and professionally designed landscaping, the backyard offers a true estate-like setting with remarkable privacy. An expansive IPE hardwood deck, built-in grilling station, oversized outdoor spa, private sun deck, beautifully manicured lawn, and multiple entertaining spaces create an outdoor experience designed for both unforgettable gatherings and peaceful everyday living.
Additional highlights include a heated three-car garage with epoxy flooring and an EV charger, radiant heated floors throughout the 2008 addition, three laundry areas, a cedar closet, hardwood flooring beneath select carpeted areas, a finished basement, and countless thoughtful improvements that reflect decades of meticulous ownership and pride.
Offering timeless architecture, extraordinary flexibility, and craftsmanship that would be nearly impossible to replicate today, this is far more than a beautiful home—it's one of Glen Oak Acres' true legacy properties. Opportunities to own a residence of this caliber, privately offered before reaching the open market, are exceptionally rare.
