Spring Valley has long enjoyed a superior reputation for being one of the city s most attractive neighborhoods. It offers a park-like setting while being convenient to an excellent axis for getting around town. The residences are of a significant scale, primarily executed in the first half of the 20th century in a range of historical styles, and set on large lots. This combination of attributes contributes to the neighborhood s overall tranquil sensibility.Built in 1961, this handsome Georgian Revival has had the privilege of knowing only two owners in its almost 60-year history. Stylistically, it is faithful to its 18th-century ancestors, offering a fine symmetrical fa ade, windows of gracious proportions, and a belt course which separates the upper and lower stories. The architect added a mansard roof with dormers instead of a side gable, typically associated with this style, supplying abundant natural light to the upper floor. The house is located on one of the most desirable streets in the neighborhood and offers professionally decorated public and private spaces on all three floors.On the main level, there is an entry hall, family room, guest suite with full bathroom, powder room, laundry room, discreet under-stair wine storage, and access to the attached two-car garage. On this floor, one is introduced to the unified and serene approach to the interiors which is found throughout the house. A neutral palette, high ceilings, and generous room proportions make every space feel welcoming.The second level provides a luminous living room with gas fireplace, spacious dining room, and renovated eat-in kitchen with views onto the rear garden. The large master bedroom suite features custom closets in addition to a walk-in closet, a large anteroom that can be used as a library or den, and access to the screened porch and garden. The beautifully renovated master bathroom offers radiant floor heating, a walk-in shower, and the same high level of finishes found in every other room.The third level provides two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom which provides privacy for all members of the household and guests. Additionally, there is a large and easily accessible storage room above the garage, perfect for seasonal items.
