This thoughtfully renovated home offers so many wonderful attributes of both style & substance. Stepping into the foyer of this gracious home, you'll see a large living room to your right, and a stylish dining room and kitchen beckoning to the left. Let's start with the living room: it spans the length of the home, providing space for multiple conversation areas. Note the large picture window, built-in bookshelves, and gorgeous quarter-sawn oak floors. Continuing through the living room, you'll find a 4-season sunporch, everyone's favorite place to lounge, WFH, study, play music, sip coffee or cocktails. Now, to the left: you'll find a charming dining room with its original, oak, built-in breakfront, a beautiful wrought-iron chandelier, and sunlight streaming in from three directions. The kitchen is the brainchild of award-winning designer Jill Warren, featuring a reclaimed-wood-clad peninsula, hand-made hex tile backsplash on the coffee station, soapstone countertops, plentiful custom cabinetry, and original maple floors. A chic new half bath rounds out the first level. Upstairs you'll find four nice bedrooms, a lovely, updated full bath with designer fixtures, and all-new carpeting. Also new: all plumbing and electrical (2018). Outside, a spacious, fully fenced-in side yard offers two patios (flagstone and crushed stone) and is professionally landscaped with native plants and grasses. This is an extraordinary home! Come see it today!
