'CRESCENT MANOR' - CHARACTER AND CLASS ON A CHARISMATIC ACRE
AS IF FROM THE PAGES OF A CLASSIC STORYBOOK...PERHAPS A FAIRYTALE OF A SUGAR-COATED MANSION PEERING ABOVE PICTURESQUE GARDENS THAT GUARD FANCIFUL SECRETS... 'CRESCENT MANOR' STANDS AS A MUCH-ADMIRED LANDMARK AT THE ENTRANCE OF SASSAFRAS' MOST PRESTIGIOUS STREET, THE CRESCENT. THE FASCINATION BEGINS AS YOU ENTER THIS FLAWLESS ACRE VIA LARGE IRON GATES AND, AS GLORIOUS PARK-LIKE GARDENS SPAN THE BREADTH OF YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION, THE MAJESTIC TUDOR FAADE RISES UP ABOVE YOU WITH A SENSE OF GRANDEUR THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE WITNESSED UNTIL NOW. AND, WHILE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND STATUESQUE PROPORTIONS OF THIS MANOR-HOME ARE INDEED IMPRESSIVE... IT TAKES ONLY A MOMENT TO REALISE THAT CRESCENT MANOR IS A WARM AND INVITING FAMILY-HOME - CONFIGURED FOR THE EASE OF DAILY LIVING WITH A FLUID INTEGRATION OF FIRESIDE LIVING ROOMS, 5 BEDROOMS AND PRIVATE STUDY-NOOK WITHIN THE MAIN RESIDENCE PLUS A GENEROUS 2 BEDROOM SELF-CONTAINED APARTMENT UNDER ROOFLINE, WITH ITS OWN SEPARATE ENTRANCE. GIVEN THE EXTREME VERSATILITY OF ITS LAYOUT, CRESCENT MANOR IS CERTAINLY IDEAL FOR ACCOMMODATING GUESTS AND EXTENDED FAMILY IN ABSOLUTE COMFORT, WORKING FROM HOME WITHOUT ENCROACHING ON THE FAMILYS SPACE OR PERHAPS EVEN OFFERING BED N BREAKFAST ACCOMMODATION (STCA). YOU MIGHT BE RATHER TORN WHEN DECIDING ON CRESCENT MANOR'S MOST COMPELLING FEATURE... ITS EXQUISITE GARDENS WHERE EXPANSES OF SUNNY LEVEL LAWNS ARE BACKDROPPED BY THE 'OLD ENQLISH GARDEN' AMBIENCE OF SCULPTED HEDGES AND BURSTING CAMELLIA BLOOMS THAT BLOSSOM IN LENGTHY SUCCESSION... OR THE INTRICATE ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL AND QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS UNIQUE TUDOR-REVIVAL BUILDING (THAT'S SURPRISINGLY ONLY 20 YEARS OLD!). ALONG WITH THE MAGNIFICENT AXMINSTER CARPETS THAT ARE REMINISCENT OF A 5-STAR HOTEL, AND THE GIANT STAINED-GLASS WINDOW THAT LIGHTS UP THE GRAND INTERNAL STAIRCASE AS THE AFTERNOON SUN STREAMS INTO THE HOME...
