Introducing Caterina. Lovely, bespoke and quietly awaiting her new steward, this charming Cape sits on over 2.5 acres on Whitford Road, offering both privacy and convenience. The road is quiet and rarely traveled, yet just minutes from a latte and crepe at Le Gamin. Though Catarina gives the impression of a home that has stood the test of time, she is a newer build, dating to circa 1987. Custom-built for a local real estate legend, the home reflects its previous owner's appreciation for location and detail. Darling at every turn, the front door is flanked by classic sidelights and framed by dentil molding. Inside, a custom Chinese Chippendale railing greets you, inspired by the previous owner's visits to Asia. To the right, a gracious living room with a wood-burning fireplace invites friends to gather, whether for a planned evening or an impromptu visit. The dining room has a second wood-burning fireplace and may be the brightest room in the house, with windows and doors that let the light flow in. The dining room connects to the kitchen, where a long center island offers plenty of room to pull up a stool and stay awhile. The kitchen sink overlooks the backyard, with distant views of the hills on a clear day. Around the bend is a flexible room that may spark some debate: would it make the perfect mudroom or an inviting office?
