Elegant, Distinctive, and Absolutely Breathtaking—this exceptional home is the perfect blend of classic character and modern convenience. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the warmth of hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout the first and second levels, and the inviting atmosphere that makes this house feel like home. The spacious living room is filled with natural light and features a charming wood-burning fireplace along with built-in shelving, creating a perfect space to relax or entertain.
The completely updated kitchen is a true highlight, boasting granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a full floor-to-ceiling renovation. Just off the formal dining room, a covered screened porch offers a peaceful spot to unwind or host guests.
Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the third floor adds even more versatility with two finished rooms equipped with a mini-split system for heating and cooling—ideal for additional bedrooms, a home office, or play areas. The full basement is clean and dry, featuring a large finished space, half bath, laundry area, workshop, and plenty of storage.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard feels like a private retreat, complete with perennial gardens, two porches, and a bluestone patio with a firepit—perfect for outdoor gatherings. The two-car, barn-style garage includes an electric opener, 220 electric service, a hardwired generator connection, and a spacious loft above.
Impeccably maintained and truly move-in ready, this home offers comfort, style, and functionality in a highly desirable location. Don’t miss your chance—schedule your showing today!
