Capolavoro Coloniale Senza Tempo Dall'eleganza Moderna

Connecticut Colonial Exquisite Residence it the Indian Hill Estates, designed by a prominent, award-winning Chicago architect and recognized as a contributing property to the architectural character of the area, has not been added to or altered in any major way since envisioned by Mr. Ralph E. Stotzel in the late 30’s. The house has been preserved while thoughtfully keeping up with modern trends. It boasts high ceilings on both floors, coved ceilings, elaborate moldings in the living room, plantation window and door shutters, quality flooring throughout, the high quality wood for which was harvested from old forests, as was for all wooden windows. The circular flow is perfect for entertaining as well as everyday living. The welcoming entry flows naturally into an expensive Living room, with French doors access to covered patio. Living room showcases recently rebuilt wood burning fireplace, encapsulated with elegant molding, picture window with a view and is large enough to be used as a Living/Dining combination. Connecting further to spacious Dining room/Family room, with a large bay window looking into the south facing courtyard. The Dining room serves beautifully as either a formal dining space or a comfortable family room, as it is centrally located.

In recent years, it has been updated with all new appliances and organizer pull outs, lazy susans and shelving, counter tops, and faucet, while staying true to the original design. The bright, contemporary Office/Dining space offers an additional, separate entrance through the mud room. Spacious four bedrooms, three bathrooms, (two of which are en-suite) are on the second floor, as well as balcony over covered patio. There is also attic running the full length of the house, currently used as an additional storage and accessible via pull down stairs.

Elegant and sophisticated, a residence with history and character.
