MOVIE SET WORTHY .... THINK FATHER OF THE BRIDE BACKYARD........Next door to Middlefork Tennis Club on 1.45 acres, this 5-bedroom 3.1-bathroom home is on the market for the first time. Situated on the best corner lot in the highly sought after Middlefork enclave of Northfield, this home features BREATHTAKING lawns and gardens designed and perfected over the years to be in perpetual bloom. Equally breathtaking in the evening, the 100-year old oak trees and evergreens are bathed in light creating a surreal sense of enclosure and well-being. With its expansive two-tiered brick patio running the width of the home complimented by floor to ceiling southern facing windows, this home allows for an immersive indoor/outdoor lifestyle year-round. It is also an entertainer's dream - from cocktails, sunsets and al fresco dinners with friends & family, to full-field soccer matches, taking in July 4th fireworks or hosting a 500-person wedding or graduation, this is a home for creating memories.
