A reimagined mid-century Cape offers a warm and refined take on modern living, thoughtfully renovated top-to-bottom by a seasoned high-end interior designer. Set on 2.5 acres in long-admired Brookstone, neighboring beloved Johnson Park School and just minutes from renowned private academies, the location is ideal. Enter through a courtyard garden with new hardscaping and sunset views into light-filled rooms wrapped in new Marvin windows, skylights and French doors, along with added millwork and wainscoting bringing a sense of understated elegance. Soft neutral tones are used in unexpected ways, enhanced by hardwood floors, designer sconces and brass hardware. Painterly mural wallpaper presents an artful setting for special meals in the dining room, a spot said to have welcomed notable literary and political figures in the past. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring two stylish pantries, a custom furniture-style island and hutch, an AGA induction range and paneled appliances by Fisher Paykel and Bosch. The cathedral family room feels both expansive and inviting, set apart yet still visually connected to the kitchen for effortless flow. Private spaces are equally considered, with a layout that allows for comfortable single-level living. A serene bedroom wing culminates in an enlarged main suite with outdoor access, four closets, including two organized walk-ins, and a Waterworks bath offering dual rain showerheads. Upstairs, a private-entry apartment with kitchenette serves as guest/au pair accommodations or easily integrates as a second suite or lounge space. A fresh, finished basement with natural light offers even more flexible use. Outdoors, the property unfolds like a private country retreat. A renovated, fenced pool is set well back from the house for a sense of seclusion, while tall trees provide complete privacy spring through fall. A relaid bluestone patio edged with fresh landscaping surveys the grounds and beautifully complements crisp white cedar siding and new shutters. With everything taken care of, from a new roof to enhanced A/C, this home pairs enduring style with modern peace of mind. Exterior images have been virtually staged and digitally enhanced.
