This painted brick Modern French home is a delight inside and out. Thoughtfully built by Mike Murphy, the selection of materials and styling is a true cut above. Inspiring first impressions with the charming architectural details, extensive planters, and lush landscaping. Through 4-panel glass and metal double doors, the grand entry boasts a soaring dramatic “double-back” stairway and balcony. Rich, wide paneled quarter-sawn hardwood throughout downstairs adds tremendous richness and warmth. The detailed special millwork and built-ins, the finest natural quartzite tops in kitchen, scullery, and baths along with a delightful backyard with an elevated, stone-floored screen porch with a fireplace plus a patio and beautiful, bucolic views of adjoining woods are extras. Maplewood is a gem of a community- private, gated, and well-located off Forest Hill Irene Road north of Poplar.
