Description

Follow Hill Avenue all the way to the end, where it dips down into the circular drive of this special residence, known as 1199 Hill Avenue. Towering trees and lush rolling landscape (filled with native plants) fill the 3/4 of an acre property. Pond (not part of this property) adds to the serene views behind. The home is built on a slope with an enclosed porch on the rear which extends over the slope and patio and faces the pond. The property features a circular drive, attached 2-car heated garage and a detached Carriage House (great for RV, boat, workshop, or additional car storage). The interior has been meticulously maintained by the current owner (a list of maintenance and updates available). The style has been called a "modified cape-cod" (as it has the center staircase leading to a 1/2 story). This upper level offers a private 3rd bedroom with loads of closet space, dormers, and a renovated private full bathroom (2010). The main-floor offers an additional 2 bedrooms. The primary boasts sun-filled windows and 2 separate closets (1 large walk-in). The main-floor full bathroom (set between both brs) was beautifully renovated in 2014 (including the hand-painted mural above shower). The formal living room offers a gas-log-fireplace set between twin French doors. The sun-filled gourmet eat-in kitchen is complete with bay garden window, granite tops, sub-zero refrigerator, built-in oven, and cooktop featuring a stainless designer hood fan. Just off the kitchen is a separate formal dining room with charming corner built-in shelving/cabinetry and lovely backyard views. Perhaps the favorite room in the house is the 41x8 concrete-floored screened porch, nestled between the trees and among the birds (your own private tree-fort). The walk-out lower level offers the 2-car garage, completely finished, heated, and recently painted (with new LED lighting installed). The enormous but cozy family room offers knotty-pine walls, beamed ceilings, wood-burning stove, and more large windows with amazing views. The walk-out also includes a large laundry room with exterior door, 8x11 den/office, full bathroom, extra storage space, and a built-in Sauna room. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND HISTORICALLY PLAQUED HOME... Bricks used in original construction are said to have come from The Elgin Watch Factory. Updates include: 1995 Electric service upgrade 200 amp service, new boiler 2015, Central Air Conditioning added, Roof and gutters (with leaf-filters) replaced 2021.
