About Property

A rare opportunity to purchase a 1929 Tudor Revival residence, The Post House, unscathed by modern remodeling & contemporary alteration. The home features its original floor plan with, astonishingly, every quintessential Tudor element including four point arches, majestic vaulted ceiling with walnut beams, red oak flooring, walnut built ins, elegant wrought iron stairway, ornate handmade wrought iron sconces, candelabra & door handles, copper canopy, steep gables, lead casement windows, & a gorgeous slate roof. The layout is outstanding. The large Great Room with its original fireplace, vaulted ceilings, walnut beam work, oak floors & an abundance of windows opens to a covered patio & views of the large backyard which, in Summer, boasts blossoms, blooms & privacy trees. It also opens to a dining room that still has the servant button in the floor! A library w/ walnut-built ins & shelves is restful & sedate, a perfect room for morning coffee. The former maid's room (main floor) has been used as a 4th bedroom or office. Full bathroom on the main floor. Up the original staircase with its wrought iron railing brings you to 3 large bedrooms, again with hardwood floors. Classic Tudor 4-point archways & charming built ins, high ceilings, ample closets (cedar downstairs)& lots of natural light completes the upstairs floor. Served by two more full bathrooms, one ensuite in the primary bedroom. Beautifully patinated bay window & front door copper canopies, & exceptional brickwork.
