This rare handcrafted Arts and Crafts bungalow proudly occupies over an acre of well manicured lawns and gardens planted with eye popping cultivars. In front, a large veranda invites you under a low dramatic sloping roofline, covered in chamfered slate, w/ copper downspouts, tongue & groove soffit, punctuated by a charming 2nd floor dormer and framed with two stately chimneys. This personal and authentic house exudes understated class without pretense. The concrete/precast driveway leads to a shockingly large parking area and a three bay heated garage itself built of brick with slate roof and accoutrements. Aside from housing autos, the garage doubles as a giant man cave with bar, projection TV and nightclub lighting. Various terraces lead to multiple patios and a fully winterized art studio. All grounds irrigated and dotted with a dizzying array of landscape lights. And you can do whatever you want because the grounds are totally private.
