What's special
Welcome to this extraordinary, all-brick rambler gracefully situated on a private, lush 1.02-acre lot backing to tranquil, mature trees —boasting the ultimate freedom of no HOA. Thoughtfully curated to brilliantly blend timeless classic architecture with sleek, high-end modern finishes, the expansive main level features an open-concept layout designed for effortless living. Upon entering, the main entertaining zone unfolds to the right, leading you into the family room anchored by a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, seamlessly flowing into a formal dining room and a sunlit eat-in kitchen positioned at the rear of the home. Step right out from the kitchen onto an extra-large deck that overlooks your own private, park-like backyard oasis. Branching off to the left of the front door, a quiet wing showcases three generously sized bedrooms, a magnificent primary suite completely reimagined and renovated in 2024, and a pristine secondary hall bathroom. Downstairs, the finished lower level delivers incredible lifestyle versatility, featuring sleek polished concrete basement floors and professional sound treatment to reduce echoing—the ultimate setup for a media room, creative home studio, or vibrant recreation space. Exceptional structural and mechanical updates provide absolute peace of mind and top-tier efficiency, headlined by the roof replaced in 2022, new whole-house windows, a modern patio door, and an eye-catching Provia double front door. Peak energy efficiency is maintained by reliable gas heat and HVAC installed in 2018, enhanced by blown-in attic insulation, thorough whole-house air sealing, and an advanced whole-house surge protector added in 2024. Outdoor entertaining is a dream with a private backyard retreat featuring brand-new deck railings and an inviting patio. Added luxury features include a two-car garage outfitted with a durable polyaspartic-coated floor and a convenient modern EV charging outlet.
