Property Description
If you are looking for a small, charming, and cozy home, with a lot of history, come to see this former gardener's cottage built in 1899 as part of the elegant Grays Lane estate that sits behind, on what was at that time, the original Radnor Hunt area. You will be pleasantly surprised by the abundance of natural light coming in from the many, generous windows, in every room; and by the well-proportioned spaces/rooms that make this small jewel a very comfortable place in which to live. You approach the house by crossing an appealing stone bridge, rebuilt in 2020 to be able to carry the weight even of a fire engine, as required by the new code. The elegant Living Room, the generous Dining Room, the small but practical Kitchen, the Laundry Area, and a full bath are on the first floor. The second floor offers three bedrooms (2 of a nice size) and the second full bath. A part of the attic space has been finished as a sort of loft and it can be reached using a small ladder hidden in the second-floor hall closet. The basement is unfinished. There is another structure in this property. It pre-existed the 1975 land subdivision. It was originally used as a garage. Today it is used as a workshop but could be reverted to its original use or transformed into a great studio/working office by the new owner. This endearing home sits on 1.22 acres of ground. There is a large front yard facing the creek that runs parallel and close to the street. The backyard, very private, has been terraced creating views of different gardens (one of the terraces years ago hosted a greenhouse). This home not only has a history, but it has been cared for and loved by the present owner. If you are looking for something special, something different, small, and darling, come to see this house that is unlike many others and that will not disappoint you.
