    Very attractive traditional Murray Hill home, elegant and airy. Side porch opens to welcoming foyer, hall leading to the crème de la crème heart of the home-a 24x24 kitchen, breakfast and family area open to the beautiful four season garden, pond and terrace beyond. This prize winning centerpiece features 10’ ceilings, a beautiful granite and walnut island, custom cabinets, Viking range with custom hood embellished with acanthus and artichoke, Sub-Zero, Dacor double convection oven, warming drawer, Bosch DW, 2 zone wine keeper near bar sink. Does a chef live here? Well, as a matter of fact, he does!
    Mature magnolia, cherry and river birch create privacy and definition in a garden with paths meandering through the perennial plantings to the streams of water falling into the large koi pond. Retreat to the outdoors through the hours-coffee and papers in the morning, PM tea, dinner on the terrace. And there are always champagne cocktails at midnight, with a little water music.
    The entire spacious first level with lovely arches connecting formal living and dining rooms, invites company and compliments-it is no wonder that so many publications and tours feature this gracious home. (See Cheasapeake Life, April 2007) The master bedroom has an original circular dressing room w/ window seat. Two other bedrooms, served by a very smart retro tile bath-good to go through the years! At the top, a large floored attic and two cedar closets.
    The spacious English basement, connected by a wide staircase from main level, has a nice off street entrance. Office/bdrm, full bath, “kitchen” area, computer station and a large general room. A versatile area for his/her offices, exercise/playroom, au pair/in-law, teen bdrm/band practice.
    Water access on Spa Creek at end of street.
