This gracious 1920 Colonial got a major addition in 1991, but what's really unique is its stone cottage out back built by a World War I general.
The five-bedroom yellow clapboard house with black shutters at 152 Grove St. in Westwood sits on four acres of land, surrounded by a stone wall with rolling grass area, rock ledges and a fieldstone cottage.
The cottage was built by former owner of the land and neighbor U.S. Gen. Clarence Ransom Edwards, who in 1920 built a replica of his French headquarters in World War I where he led the 26th Infantry Yankee Division into battle. The current owner uses the cottage, featuring red clay tile floors, a large fireplace, shelves and mapboards, for entertaining.
The original 1920 area of the house, built as a summer home, has restored oak floors throughout and holds a formal living room with a wood fireplace, an enclosed porch and also a formal dining room, all with restored 8-over-8 rope-operated windows. The second floor has a master bedroom suite with a dressing room, closet space and ceramic en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is currently used as a study and there's also a smaller third bedroom and a second full ceramic-tiled bathroom.
A major addition in 1991 is sympathetic to the original with a separate entrance and lots of 8-over-8 windows that look out onto the large back yard that has a granite paver patio. The addition includes an expanded and redone kitchen with a sunny breakfast room, a sunken living/family room, two more carpeted bedrooms and an attached three-car garage.
The large recessed-lit oak-floored kitchen has 35 white cabinets, plus an adjacent pantry with more cabinets for china. There's a large center gray-granite topped island and an adjacent cushioned window seat and second pantry closet. Appliances include a 5-year-old Thermador propane gas stove, two new white General Electric wall ovens, a new white Miele dishwasher and a white Sub Zero refrigerator.
Adjacent is the oak-floored breakfast room with nice views out to the back yard. This space segues into a carpeted sunken living/family room that's graced with a wood-burning fireplace bordered by built-in bookshelves.
Off the kitchen, in the entry foyer, is a laundry/mud room with a washer and dryer, as well as a sink and shower. There's also an adjacent half bath added in 1991, as well as direct access to a three-car garage.
The second floor of the addition features two carpeted bedrooms, a home office room that could be a nursery, and a library/sitting area. The two bedrooms are good sized with large closets and built-ins with bookshelves and desks. The bedrooms are served by a white ceramic-tiled full bathroom, and there's a laundry closet with a chute down to the first-floor laundry room.
There's a large carpeted playroom with built-ins over the garage with a large arched window.
