Lovingly maintained by the same owner for nearly 50 years, this five-bedroom home combines thoughtful updates with inviting outdoor spaces on a quiet street with no through traffic. The updated kitchen features gorgeous custom hickory cabinetry with pull-out shelves, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. The spacious living room with bay window lets in so much natural light and is the perfect space for entertaining. The former family room now serves as a formal dining room, showcasing stunning custom-built cabinetry with generous storage and beautiful display space, and could easily return to its original use. A professionally updated bathroom by AIM Kitchen and Bath adds to the appeal. Four bedrooms upstairs and a fifth in the lower level offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a home office. Double-hung, tilt-in windows make cleaning easy. Outside, enjoy a spacious 14-by-28-foot deck, professionally installed stone patio, and fenced backyard surrounded by mature, professionally designed landscaping. With the home facing west, the backyard deck is an inviting spot for coffee in the morning sunshine and relaxing in the afternoon shade. An attached two-car garage with custom cabinetry and a large backyard shed provide even more storage. Decades of care and pride of ownership shine throughout!
