Property Description
Exceptional views of the tree-tops, enchanted gardens, and an open floor plan define this remote-feeling, mid century modern home, located in the desirable neighborhood of Westminster! Award winning Architect Richard Chalfant, A.I.A redesigned the mid century home, and, in its glory, 708 Ambleside was listed in the Contemporary Homes Tour. Upon entering you are greeted by a two story foyer that leads to the upper main level. This level features the main bedroom with a dressing area, en suite and two closets. There are also three additional bedrooms on this level, one of which has built in rosewood bookcases. The main living area features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, hardwoods, a self cleaning stone fireplace surrounded by an abundance of windows and sliding doors across the back and front of the home offering easy access to life among the tree tops and views of the spectacular gardens full of mature flowering trees and plants, pathways with twists and turns. First floor walkout basement with sliding doors and roughed-in plumbing offers limitless potential. Two car garage, wood burning fireplace, cupboards behind curtains in the dining room and kitchen, a second floor chute to the laundry, a subzero refrigerator and original roll out kitchen cabinets ahead of their time. Maintained by the original owners, this home is in need of tender loving care, particularly the expansive deck
