Description

Welcome to 716 Sunset Rd, a beautiful Colonial home in coveted Twickenham Village, with 3 BD, 2.5 BA, gorgeous hardwood floors, a welcoming floor plan, and set back on a tranquil half-acre property. You will notice original built-ins and cabinets throughout, as well as 2 working fireplaces, 1 gas and 1 wood-burning, which make the house warm and cozy during the colder months. History buffs will appreciate this homes beginnings! It was built in 1950 by the original owner Edward Breuninger after serving in WWII. He owned Breuninger's Dairies in the Northeast, as evidenced by the cows on the light post out front and the weathervane on the garage. His wife was a botanist (hence the greenhouse, located off the laundry/mudroom, which isnt currently used but is perfectly functional for all you green thumbs out there) and if you look closely, you can still see the footprint from her massive garden in the backyard. The ivy on the back of the house was planted by her, brought home from a trip they took to Germany. The Wisteria Vine is beautifully maintained and offers additional privacy. The neighborhood was built on the footprint of the Kimble estate. Kimble built a house for his son, called Sunset (which is now the Seminary across Church Road). There is a trail over there that is open to the public, where you can enjoy spectacular sunset views. The yard is home to much wildlife frogs, birds, chipmunks, deer, foxes, rabbits never a dull moment! The current owners love sitting on the back porch listening to the fountain and watching the birds and frogs go for a splash. Speaking of splash, whether you like to entertain, or prefer privacy and tranquility all to yourself, this patio and the Endless Pools Recsport Swim Spa (purchased in 2021) will beckon you year-round! Be sure to check out the storage space/attached shed smartly placed behind the garage. Its a great area for storing your lawn and gardening equipment, allowing for more space in the garage to keep 2 cars out of the elements. The driveway has been freshly sealed and provides quite a bit more space for extra vehicles. The original owner/builder enjoyed working with his hands and there are many relics of his woodworking, metalworking and film processing in the basement. The basement has good-sized ceiling height and is a perfect place for storage, as well as working on your own projects! This house was thoughtfully designed and built by someone who cared very deeply about providing a safe and welcoming home for his family and others for years to come.
