The home Clarence Johnston built for his son is nestled in the private enclave of Crocus Hill. Shaded by ancient oaks, this English cottage has timeless style and careful updates. While historic, the home accommodates modern life well - a kitchen for gathering, spaces for weeknight relaxing, and work from home options. Johnston's genius is on display in the layout - a living room with a fireplace for winter evenings, adjacent stone floor sunroom for sunny days, and French doors off these rooms to the shaded front terrace. Sweetly updated kitchen with massive island, dolomite counters, induction range, endless storage, and charming pantry. Glorious dining room opens to the back terrace for alfresco meals. Upstairs, the ideal en suite: bedroom, full bath, sunroom, walk in closets. Two more sun-filled second floor bedrooms, full bath, and storage room that could be future laundry. Tucked in the treetops, the third floor is great for a teen or nanny, with bath and mini kitchen. EV charger.
