High ceilings, leaded windows in Colonial

From Stratford Road, a rear driveway leads into the property, where there is a sunken garden surrounded by a trellised walkway, a 40-foot portico, and then an extended bluestone patio that leads up to the French doors that open onto the family room.

Built in 1903 and since restored, the property is just a short walk from town center and commuter rail, but is an oasis of tranquility you wouldn’t expect off busy Bacon Street out front.

Period details include Greek columns in the dining room, an original butler’s pantry, and a family room with the floor-to-ceiling leaded windows overlooking the rear gardens.

The formal living room, with high ceilings, bay window, and built-in window seats has a wood-burning fireplace as its centerpiece. The sun-drenched chef’s kitchen includes cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and a double Wolf oven and Sub-Zero appliances.

“It’s completely restored but not stripped of its original beauty,’’ said Re/Max agent Kim Covino. More than 4,000 square feet of living space is spread over three full levels.

The master suite, at 360 square feet, features raised panel walls, custom built-ins, a bathroom, and a walk-in closet complete with dressing room and sink. A sitting area outside the master suite on the second floor opens up to an upper front porch.

The carriage house - where the chauffeur used to reside - now works as a two-car garage. It also has plumbing to turn it into an indoor kid’s club, man cave, or guest house.

There is an open house today, from 2 to 4 p.m.
