About 437 Paradise Ave

Simple elegance throughout. This gambrel-roofed farmhouse, with its cedar shingles and slate roof, fits perfectly in its picturesque setting; surrounded by magnificent 6-foot stone walls, mature trees and English-style gardens filled with perennials. Built in 1930, it underwent a complete renovation in 2003, including new systems, and the addition of a rear wing and expansive bluestone patio. The interior mirrors the classic exterior with clean lines, oak floors, and light pouring in through wide windows. A gracious foyer welcomes you to a main level with a living room, solarium and a spacious kitchen with attached dining or sitting area. The second level hosts the primary suite and an additional en suite bedroom. The 3rd level has a multi-use open space, bedroom and full bath. Currently used as a 3-bedroom home, 2 rooms now used as offices could easily become additional bedrooms. From the full basement to the 3rd floor, all levels are easily accessed with an elevator, and the home is reliably sustained by a generator. Paradise Found is a fitting name for this idyllic property located in the Paradise Valley which inspired 19th century artists including John LaFarge and William Trost Richards. The area is a scenic gem with rolling hills, ocean vistas, miles of sandy beaches, and hundreds of acres of wildlife sanctuaries and conserved open space.
