As you approach 5 Burrs Lane on its cobblestone path, you will notice that the property has been meticulously landscaped with features reminiscent of Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 classic, The Secret Garden. Upon entering you are greeted with light-filled rooms, exposed beams and original hardwood flooring from when William Rea expanded this home in 1855 (it is documented that an original, smaller home existed here pre-dating the Revolutionary War). The temperature is maintained by discreet ductless AC, baseboard heating and a heat pump which maximizes comfort. The beautifully finished newly renovated kitchen gives way to a sophisticated family room with walls accented by expertly crafted panel molding. A cozy office surrounded by built-ins, a first-floor laundry closet and half bathroom completes the main floor. The second floor, accessible by a front or rear staircase, includes three nicely appointed bedrooms, a sparkling guest bathroom and a beautiful ensuite bathroom for the primary bedroom. The walkup attic reveals additional storage and a finished playroom or office. If you love the idea of residing in a tranquil oasis in College Hill, this home is without equal.
