Highlights
About this home
*$4,000 Buyer Bonus Credit Available* — Use Toward Closing Costs, Rate Buydown, or Updates you see fit! This home is pure mid-century modern magic. Perched on prime hilltop in desirable Governors Hill, this showstopper blends dramatic vintage architecture, serene wooded views, and thoughtful updates. Spanning nearly 4,000 sq. ft., the character and flare is seen at every turn—dramatic vaulted ceilings, sun-drenched rooms, and seamless lines of sight. Step outside to a massive back deck (freshly stained 2026) with a plumbed-in gas (not propane!) grill, or take in sunset views of the historic Governor’s Mansion from your elevated top-of-the-yard retreat. Sleek New Flooring: Main level (2023), basement rec room (2025), and 2nd-floor bedroom carpet (2023; professionally cleaned 2026). Updated kitchen with new fridge (2025) & new washer (2026), new Roof (2023) & updated HVAC (2021)! Homes with this level of space, character, and turnkey mechanical updates rarely hit the market. Come see for yourself, there is truly nothing like this one on the market.
