Welcome to 859 Gainsway Road! This custom built beauty, in the highly coveted Carriage Hill neighborhood, has been loved, enjoyed, meticulously maintained and lived in so gently to this day by the original owners that it presents as a home perhaps only half of its actual age.

The majestic, 2 story foyer, complete with elegant winding staircase to the upper floor, makes a grand first impression.

To the right of the foyer, the enormous living room, spanning the entire depth of the home from front to back and centered around the beautiful wood mantled fireplace, showcases the gorgeous, incredibly well kept hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. Enjoy the glorious natural light throughout the day through large windows on 3 walls with the huge picture window overlooking the rear. The smart design of this custom home has large picture windows with rear views from all 1st level areas. Accessed from the living room is a covered porch, truly a secret oasis providing tucked in privacy.
