Step into a slice of 1940s heaven that’s been reimagined for the way we live today. This isn't just a renovation; it’s a total transformation that honors original cottage charm while layering in high-end, modern luxuries. Think sun-drenched rooms, preserved hardwood floors, and craftsmanship you rarely see anymore—custom millwork, classic archways, and elegant built-ins that overflow with personality. The layout is as smart as it is stylish. A guest bedroom sits on the main level, while the entire second floor is dedicated to a private primary suite. Need a little extra room? The den is a total chameleon—perfect for a library, creative nook, or third bedroom. At the heart of it all is a true chef’s kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line finishes and fixtures that make every meal feel like an event. (marble counters, slate floor, Liebherr fridge & Thermador range) Outside, the lifestyle perks continue with a fenced yard featuring two separate patios, ideal for alfresco dining. The oversized two-car garage includes a workshop and planting room, plus a spacious upstairs loft. Whether you’ve been dreaming of a quiet home office or a workout studio, this flexible space is ready. Tucked away yet convenient to everything, the home is packed with high-efficiency upgrades like a Navien hydro-furnace, Waterworks fixtures, and central AC. A full, clean basement with additional storage and laundry completes the picture. It’s immaculate, effortless, and ready for its next chapter.
