Listing broker remarks

One of Westwood’s most commanding estates on one of the town’s most coveted streets. This 4-bed, 5-bath residence spans 5,000+ sq ft on a beautifully fenced 1.25-acre lot offering exceptional privacy just outside the city. A dramatic foyer with a sweeping staircase sets the stage for what unfolds beyond. The main level blends formal and informal spaces, anchored by a stone fireplace and filled with natural light, flowing into a sunroom that opens to the grounds. Upstairs, the bedrooms are thoughtfully separated, including a private wing with its own en suite bath and a sense of quiet retreat. The lower level offers additional finished space with flexibility for how it’s used. With top-ranked schools, a 3-car garage, and convenient access to public transportation, this extraordinary offering delivers the perfect balance of luxury, tranquility and accessibility.— Douglas Elliman Real Estate - The Sarkis Team
