Sauganash Rare Find! This stunning English Manor home, set on two expansive lots, offers unparalleled charm and privacy. Enclosed by wrought iron fencing and a long gated side drive, the property features lush, professionally landscaped grounds with mature trees, vibrant gardens, a rock garden, two patios, and a sparkling pool. Custom moonlighting and up-lighting highlight the beauty day and night, while an underground sprinkler system ensures everything stays picture-perfect. A true urban oasis, this gorgeous, private retreat is surrounded by nature and within city limits. Inside, timeless architectural details abound: solid wood doors, oak floors, elegant cove ceilings, Palladian windows, wainscoting, and custom paint finishes. The grand covered portico opens to a marble entry foyer. Step through double French doors into a sunlit living room featuring an elegant gas fireplace and an adjoining, sun-filled main-level office. The banquet-sized dining room with wood beam ceilings is perfect for hosting. The gourmet kitchen, a dream for both cooking and entertaining, boasts a large island with seating, ample cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances (including two dishwashers, a built-in oven with a warming drawer, and a custom cooktop hood), two sinks, and a veggie sink in the island. A sunny breakfast room and a spectacular first-floor family room with cathedral ceilings, a second gas fireplace, and panoramic windows complete the space. The newly added mudroom and back entry provide seamless access to the yard, large covered patio, and in-ground pool. Upstairs, the master suite is a serene escape with a spa-like bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and custom built-in storage. The second bedroom and full guest bath are generously sized, while the third and fourth bedrooms are tandem, creating a cozy sitting area overlooking the yard. The expanded lower level offers a second family room, a wet bar, an additional powder room, laundry area, ample storage, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Notable updates include a new tear-off roof (2023) with MasterShield gutter guards, freshly decorated interiors, a 2025 Space Pack AC and heat system with three-zone AC and two boilers, and an internet-controlled garage, cameras, security system, and electronic gate access. The electrical system has been upgraded to 200 amps. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Sauganash's most iconic homes on a breathtaking property totaling 15,875 sq. ft. across two lots with separate PINs. Don't miss it!
