Welcome to 117 Carpenter Lane, a truly remarkable Colonial Revival Estate with a rich history dating back to the early 1900's. Originally built for the family of Sydney L. Wright, a prominent banker, this quintessential estate exudes timeless elegance and modern luxury. With four finished levels, six bedrooms, and four and a half baths, this home provides an abundance of space and modern amenities. Notable features of the home include a striking circular staircase, lofty 10-foot ceilings, and exquisite maple flooring on the first floor, complemented by yellow pine on the upper levels. The current owners have taken great care to elevate this home to new heights, with substantial upgrades including a modernized whole-house electrical system (Lutron), efficient mini splits for heating and cooling, a new sewer line, and extensive landscaping including the addition of green house and gardener shed. Custom lighting throughout the home beautifully harmonizes the old-world charm with modern appeal. As you walk down the front brick walkway, you're welcomed by sitting benches and a Dutch door. Step inside the gracious foyer to be greeted by an elegant staircase, a center fireplace, and handsome mill work.
