Completely rebuilt "to the studs" in 2011, it boasts wide-board hardwood floors, new casement windows, updated wiring and plumbing, and a high-efficiency gas boiler. In 2014, the property was further elevated with the addition of a heated in-ground pool, a stylish cabana room, and a one-car garage with ceiling height designed to accommodate a car lift.

The luxurious main-level primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a marble vanity, oversized walk-in shower, and an expansive walk-in closet. Both the dining room and primary suite open onto a beautifully landscaped patio with mature trees and perennial flower beds-an ideal spot for private, al fresco dining.
