Neo-classical meets Cape Cod on Yarrow Point

While it looks classic, the house is fairly modern, built in 1994. Instant On fireplaces provide the look and feel of a country estate, but without the smoke and mess. The tone is subtle elegance, with ornamentation that enhances the spaces without drawing attention to itself.

The kitchen also has a country feel, and is ready to service a more formal dining space as well as a breakfast nook. It is equipped, however, with a six burner cooktop and double oven, plenty of capacity for creating feasts.

There’s more to the four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms than just some numbers and walls. Heated floors in the shower are a welcome luxury. But, there’s probably more room devoted to the massive closets.

There are two offices, too. Pairs of offices are becoming common as work progresses into homes. A more relaxed addition is an upstairs with just enough room for the shelves, some chairs, and another fireplace. A cozy place to retreat to, maybe even a room where the internet isn’t a distraction.

The 4,246 square foot house sits amidst formal gardens. A broad patio provides a venue for entertaining. Check to see if one of the sitting areas is equipped with a fire pit, or a gas-fired feature for late night conversations, after our weather clears.
