129 Prospect Place


Endless charm, timeless elegance, bespoke nooks & modern touches make this beautifully updated & impeccably maintained c.1909 home one to adore. From the moment you enter the sun-soaked enclosed front porch serving as a prologue to this gem, you are welcomed by light & warmth. Step in and appreciate the 1st floor flow - from the front den "snug" exuding coziness with built-ins & fireplace, around through the bright renovated kitchen that opens to the family room, the entertainment possibilities abound - even if just for yourselves! The 1st floor completes its circle with a perfect spot for coffee or serving setup, before moving into the classic dining room. Upstairs, first find two bedrooms & the renovated hall bathroom complete with double pedestal sinks & classic tub. Then the primary suite will “wow” with the spacious bedroom, closet, and designer bathroom with double vanity & gorgeous shower. The 3rd floor provides two more bedrooms (or WFH spaces) plus another full bath, perfect for hosting visitors or providing an au pair suite. Laundry can be found up here, but with hookups on the lower level as well, the option is yours. The lower level shows off its natural light with a dedicated office space with its own walk-out to the backyard, as well as a separate hangout space fit for fun. The flat backyard green space and firepit patio provides opportunities for endless good times outside. Convenience to Trains, Villages, Shopping, Schools & Food. Truly - what’s not to love?
