Property Description

You may remember this charmer when it last hit the market about a year ago- it was designed and renovated by interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, not as a spec flip, but as a personal project that married its classic storybook character with modern aesthetics and function. It found a buyer quickly, and that buyer planned it to be their forever home. Over the course of the past year, they spent accordingly- investing over $130,000 into the property, layering pride of ownership onto an already outstanding base.

The fireplace has its original limestone mantel and surround, and double doors at the right which lead to a light-bathed office, library, or study overlooking the beautiful grounds of Aquinas College. Luxurious natural stone with gorgeous profile details was added throughout the home.
The kitchen was completely redesigned and renovated in 2024, with classic elements that reflect t
