Set back off the road down a long private driveway is the charming and elegant 25 winfield avenue. Selling for the first time in almost 1/4 of a century is this very gracious and most beautiful property set on over 3 acres of absolute privacy. This is a traditional english style farmhouse with many original features; as you drive up towards the house, you enter the cobbled courtyard via a porte cochere and enter the house via one of 3 entrance doors. The covered entrance allows access from the 2 car garage straight up to the kitchen with its convenient space for a breakfast table overlooking the courtyard. From the kitchen you enter the sunny light dining room with sliders to the patio, with a wood burning fireplace for cosy winter nights. The beautiful center hall is the heart of the home, a soaring ceiling, a staircase that wraps round the landing, original front and back entry doors, access to the primary suite (with its own private patio), the powder room and the remaining first floor rooms. The living room has a large wood burning fireplace, high ceiling, wood beams, built ins and views to the front and back of the property. Step into the family room/den with double doors which open into a fabulous indoor/outdoor screened room with built in grill/ wet bar and sited adjacent to the heated pool. Moving upstairs there is a second option for a primary suite with a wood burning fireplace, bathroom and door to the rooftop deck. A further 3 bedrooms, 1 en-suite and 1 hall bath complete the upstairs. The basement has the laundry (with new washer and dryer), storage area and utilities. There is a storage room off the garage and an additional open shed close to the courtyard. Pls note there is an additional 600 sq feet in the screened porch not included in overall sq footage. If you are looking for serenity and peace you have it, if you are looking for privacy to entertain you have it. Fun fact, bonnie raitt once called this home as did johnny carson. Please note the property taxes have been reassessed and reduced and the new tax assessment for 2024 is $23, 400. In real terms based on 2023 tax rate the taxes would be around $38k.
