Nestled within the prestigious Oak Knoll neighborhood behind a private gate, this enchanting English Revival, designed by noted architect H. Denman Schutt and located just a stone’s throw from the renowned Langham Hotel, offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and tranquil seclusion. A storybook front garden, adorned with flagstone and vintage brick pathways, lush greenery, and a serene vase fountain, leads to a welcoming covered porch and gracious entryway, setting a tone of charm and sophistication. The step-down formal living room showcases gleaming peg-and-groove flooring, while a handsome fireplace, flanked by French doors, opens to a central courtyard where the gentle sound of a Batchelder-style tiled fountain creates a serene retreat.The striking leaded-glass bay window frames the idyllic views of the manicured front garden is simply breathtaking. Discreetly tucked behind a bookshelf lies a whimsical speakeasy-style bar—a nostalgic nod to a bygone era that adds a playful touch to the room’s grandeur. The formal dining room is elevated by exquisite leaded windows and doors; intricate moldings, a parquet floor with inlaid "wood rug" design and the French doors open to a romantic Porte Cochère. Adjacent is the open gourmet kitchen featuring a generous soapstone island, premium stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a sunlit breakfast nook with a view of the lush rear garden and the natural, green pool that blends in like a pond. Just off the kitchen, an intimate sitting area with a second fireplace provides a cozy spot for relaxation, while French doors offer seamless access to the courtyard and an inviting pathway to the enclosed pool and spa—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living. A stylish powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, two private suites and a spacious third bedroom offer both comfort and versatility. The front suite features an entire wall of built-in shelving and cabinetry, along with vintage leaded windows.  The rear suite includes dual walk-in closets and a charming ensuite bath with double vanities and a dual-head shower.  A large hall bath servicing the third bedroom features a classic pedestal sink and soaking tub, plus a convenient laundry closet, round out the upper level. The detached two-car garage is topped by a versatile bonus room—ideal as a home office, studio, or guest retreat. Additional highlights include rich wood flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and upgraded attic insulation. Framed by romantic gardens, meandering walkways, multiple fountains, and a whimsical pond, this magical home is ready to welcome its next fortunate owner!
