Property Description

Originally the home of Stuart Poole (the developer of Westmoreland), who was deeded the land which became Westmoreland by the DuPont family, this was his own home, built to his own meticulous specifications. It is reminiscent of bygone days and the rich history of the area. This home sits on a corner lot with an additional side yard deeded as part of the sale, making it a larger than normal lot in Westmoreland. There is a large backyard enclosed with a white picket fence. The 2 car garage has side rooms built for extra storage. The living room leads to a tranquil Florida room, with exposed brick walls and a flagstone floor. The living room is graced by a splendid fireplace and fireplace surround. Next is a den (or study) with built-in bookcases and shelves, a fireplace with blue Delft tiles. A powder room is found nearby the den. There is also a formal dining room on the first floor, along with a breakfast area (and Butler's pantry) which leads to the kitchen. A fifth bedroom with a full bath (at one time the maid's quarters) completes the first floor. The buzzer system is still operative. Upstairs are four bedrooms, with a master bedroom and three other bedrooms. There are two full baths on the upper floor. The house is heated with gas circulating hot water with radiators. There is also central air. The roof is made of English tile. All 38 windows have been replaced with energy efficient windows and a bay window was added to the living room, overlooking a perennial garden. The original entry has been updated with custom lead glass floor to ceiling panels. There are three fireplaces found in the house (in the living room, the den and in the family room). This home has random width pegged hardwood floors throughout. The house has many architectural features, including crown moldings, wainscoting, plaster walls, and arched doorways. The kitchen has stainless steel counters. There is a staircase from the second floor to the attic. There are many mature plantings around the property. This house in a desirable location is not to be missed. Please make arrangements for your showing without delay!
