This classic Cape offers the best of old and new! Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded making this neighborhood gem move-in ready.
Upgraded electrical, new plumbing, 1 year old furnace and HVAC system that was recently inspected, fresh paint, a newly opened up downstairs floor plan and the new, expansive primary suite on the second floor hint at the fantastic improvements. Lovely original millwork can be found throughout, hardwood floors are newly refinished, new fixtures in every room and a comfortable floor plan make this home extremely livable and perfect for entertaining. The stunning new kitchen offers quartz countertops, an island, soft close cabinetry extending to the ceiling, new stainless steel Samsung appliances including a gas range, abundant storage space and a farmhouse sink. The living and dining rooms flow beautifully one to another and into the open concept kitchen. The versatile sun room offers privacy just off the living room making it perfect for an office, gym or cozy den. Two spacious bedrooms on the first floor with ample closet space offer new light fixtures; a newly renovated full bath with charming arch and new tile completes the first floor. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite (with a brand new heat pump system for this floor only) features two generous closets, abundant light and beautiful new hardwood floors. The en suite primary bathroom is spacious with a tiled walk-in shower with custom glass door and crisp quartz topped vanity making this luxurious bathroom feel like a private, spa retreat. The full basement offers laundry hookups, the new hot water heater and great storage. Outside is an inviting slate patio and lovely back yard with parking in the rear. The slate roof has been well maintained. This inviting home is nestled in a neighborhood you will love in the sought after Malvern/Lafayette area near Reviresco Coffee, Stellas, Carytown, schools and more. Welcome home!
