Here is a truly beautiful East Coast Traditional in Westwood Hills steeped in good taste and sited on an unusually large lot in this charming, coveted neighborhood. Exquisitely detailed and done with delicious traditional touches as wainscoting, evocative period lighting, built-in bookcases, coved ceilings just to name a few,  this home has a sunny ambience throughout with five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms.  

Enter through a formal foyer to the warm living room graced by architectural features such as an open beamed ceiling and a large fireplace. This room opens to the family/media room with an antiqued bar, tray ceiling and French doors leading to a lovely patio perfect for al fresco entertaining. Step down to a very private grassy expanse.  

The grand gourmet cook’s kitchen, the heart of this home, has a coved ceiling, a rustic chandelier and all the expected amenities including a large center island that serves as a casual eating area and a chef’s work station. There’s also a sitting area where one can relax with the morning paper and a cup of coffee or keep the cook welcome company at dinnertime. Adjacent is a formal dining room, richly and beautifully detailed. 

The light-filled master suite has a large walk-in closet with built-ins and a romantic master bath with ample tub and separate glass-clad shower. There are three additional bedrooms, two baths and a powder room completing the top floor. 

Downstairs is an office or Den opening out through French doors to a patio complete with trickling fountain. There are guest quarters nearby, part of the main house but with a separate entry and  bath…perfect for a housekeeper or nanny or for a guest you’re prepared will never leave! Adjacent is a full service laundry room and direct, private access to the two-car garage.  

The grand rectangular pool detailed with stone sets beautifully in a lush, grassy expanse. There is a large spa at one end with a trellised covered patio framing the picturesque setting and on the other end, the pool is flanked by two large antiqued urns. The outdoor area is perfect for a large-scale party or small gathering of family and friends.
