With more than 1,400 square feet of living space on the main level, the home lives larger than expected. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet featuring convenient laundry access. The spa-inspired bath was designed for relaxation, featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, double-bowl vanity, and classic subway tile surrounds that feel both elegant and enduring. At the heart of the home, the kitchen blends beauty and function with 42-inch cabinetry, glass-front display cabinets, oversized crown molding, illuminated cabinet accents, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a center island that naturally becomes a gathering place for family and friends. The thoughtfully designed addition creates a stunning living space filled with natural light. Vaulted ceilings soar overhead while an abundance of windows and transoms draw the outdoors in. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, gathering with loved ones, or watching your four-legged family member keep an eye on the neighborhood wildlife from their favorite sunny perch, the space feels warm, inviting, and connected to nature. Outside, established landscaping surrounds the home, while the fenced backyard provides privacy and room to enjoy the seasons. The covered front porch offers a welcoming place to slow down and enjoy the neighborhood. In addition to the detached two-car garage, an extra parking pad provides valuable off-street parking for guests, hobbies, or additional vehicles. The walk-up lower level adds even more versatility with a full bath, abundant storage, and expansive flex space ready to adapt to your needs—whether future living space, a home gym, workshop, creative studio, or recreation area. Homes like this rarely come along. Rich with character, thoughtfully updated, and beautifully balanced between historic charm and modern functionality, 4948 Nagel Avenue offers the opportunity to own a home that has been lovingly elevated while remaining true to the architectural details that make it special.
