This impeccable mid-century home sits on a secluded lot just shy of two acres in The Highlands. It was built in 1966 in the 'Mansard Style,' named for its distinctive French-influenced roofline. The two-level house has stucco and stone exterior walls, four rounded arch windows with shutters, and a portico supported by columns. The entry area has a circular driveway and four parking places.

Heavy wooden double doors open to a central gallery where a wall lined in windows and French doors look out on an inviting terrace and level back lawn with a fountain. Interiors have an open floor plan, with generously proportioned dayrooms radiating off the central gallery. The house has great flow, making it ideal for entertaining. Interiors are graced with fine traditional detailing like dark-stained hardwood floors and high ceilings with crown molding.

The living room has wainscot walls, display lighting, and a wood-burning fireplace with a faux marble mantel and limestone surround. The formal dining room looks out on the entry area and features a dramatic enamel stove set in a curved wall niche. The family room offers a massive wood-burning fireplace with a tile surround and a wall of built-in display cabinetry and shelving.

The kitchen is appointed with hardwood floors, traditional cabinetry and tile counters. Stainless steel appliances include a big GE Monogram Series refrigerator/freezer, Viking 4-burner gas range, Kenmore dishwasher, and GE convection oven with warming drawer. An adjoining informal dining area has a corner-set, wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors to the terrace and backyard. The kitchen provides access to an attached 2-car garage with abundant storage cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with laundry facilities and a work sink. A guest bedroom, privately positioned off the kitchen, has shuttered windows and a full tile bath with a pedestal sink.

A hallway on the other side of the central gallery leads to two additional bedrooms, including the master suite. The hall has an elegant powder room, linen closet, and several storage closets with mirrored doors. The master suite, which looks out on the backyard, is endowed with a marble-trimmed, wood-burning fireplace and several closets, including a walk-in. The master bath has slate floors, double pedestal sinks, a soaking tub, shower lined in subway tile, and water closet. The other bedroom has built-in cabinetry with a window seat and a full bath with travertine tile floors.

A fourth bedroom is located on the lower level. It enjoys access to a lower level terrace with steps to the back yard. This bedroom is served by a three-quarter bath with Carrara marble tile floors and a vanity topped with honed marble. Also located on the lower level are mechanical equipment and a cleverly decorated wine cellar and tasting room.
