Nestled on a breathtaking, estate-like setting in the heart of Glen Oak Acres, this storybook residence offers a rare combination of timeless character, exceptional craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates accumulated over decades of ownership. Originally built in 1943 and lovingly maintained by the same family since 1989, the home radiates warmth, authenticity, and a sense of history that is increasingly difficult to find.
Set gracefully back from the street behind mature landscaping and an expansive front lawn, the home's striking exterior, slate roof, original dental molding, beautiful millwork, hickory floors, and solid-core doors showcase a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. Every room feels intentional, filled with natural light, cozy gathering spaces, and charming architectural details that make this home anything but cookie cutter.
The flexible floor plan offers approximately 5,700 square feet above grade, including a rare main-level suite with an ADA-compliant full bath, zero-threshold access, wider doorways, and plumbing in place for a future kitchenette—ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or long-term accessibility needs.
Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own private wing featuring a romantic sitting room with fireplace, an expansive walk-in closet, and a remarkable peaked-ceiling retreat transformed from the original attic. Overlooking the treetops, this one-of-a-kind space serves beautifully as a meditation room, reading retreat, studio, game room, or private sanctuary.
The grounds are equally impressive. Surrounded by mature specimen trees and professionally designed landscaping, the backyard feels like a private estate garden with complete privacy from neighboring homes. An expansive IPE hardwood deck, built-in hot tub, built-in grill, multiple entertaining spaces, private sun deck off the primary suite, and beautifully maintained lawn create an outdoor setting designed for both entertaining and quiet relaxation.
Additional highlights include a heated three-car garage with epoxy floors and EV charger, radiant heated floors in the 2008 addition, three laundry areas, cedar closet, hardwood flooring beneath select carpeted areas, finished basement with full bath, and countless improvements made throughout the years.
Rich in charm, impeccably maintained, and located among the most beautiful homes in Glen Oak Acres, this is a truly special property that simply cannot be replicated today.
