Photo by Tom Li Calzi French country Photo by Gary Kessler Nestled among a sprawling, wooded lot across from Hyde Park Country Club, this French Country estate leaves an immediate and lasting impression. It’s a home where you can imagine people driving by and slowing down to say, “I wonder who lives there?” In this particular case, it could be you. A gated drive winds up to this exquisite property as a lush, green landscape pushes back to the wood line. With five-plus acres, there’s room to do a lot here. Play catch with your son in the yard. Take the dog for a hike in the woods. Watch the grandchildren splash around under a hot summer sun while you escape the heat and grill out under shade of the covered grilling area. From the outside, a stone, stucco and stately exterior looks like it could be found on the hills of southern France. Inside, a complete and comfortable renovation has been done to bring this property back to its formal glory. Built to entertain, an elevated patio stretches across the entire expanse of the front of the home. Multiple doorways open up from here, allowing a cool breeze to flow throughout – from the extended island of the kitchen to the covered patio adjacent to the living room. This patio serves as perfect hideaway to relax with a good book or enjoy it with a glass of wine and some company. 48 LISTING AGENT MICHAEL HINCKLEY 513.608.1886 [email protected]
