**Price Improvement** Full of light and color, you'll love this 1930s cottage with extensive renovations. From the airy front porch to the chef's kitchen, the chic primary suite, or the cozy sunroom, style and grace fill every corner of this home. The 1st floor has a coat room and office nook, a formal living room with a stunning fireplace, and a family room off the gorgeous kitchen. A first-floor bedroom and full bath can work well for a primary suite or guest space. A mudroom and large pantry closet flank a stylish 1/2 bath. Above the garage, a quiet bonus room could also be a fantastic bedroom/studio. The 2nd floor holds a new full bath with designer tile and finishes, and a fully renovated primary bedroom with custom closets, skylights, and lots of storage. Tucked under the eaves, the second-floor laundry is in a bedroom that could easily convert to a home office or nursery. The flow from inside spaces over decks and stone is gracious and special; the professionally landscaped exterior creates a setting full of enjoyment and ease. Entertain out back on the bluestone patio while guests enjoy the fire pit and fountain, or easily park your car during the winter months on the heated, cobblestone driveway. The whole house generator and solar panels create an economy within utility systems.
