Discover a home where vintage charm meets multi-level versatility. This meticulously maintained home offers distinct living spaces across five functional levels. At the heart of the home, the main floor features a custom vintage kitchen boasting counter-to-ceiling cabinetry and a butler's pantry, alongside a formal dining and living room. Retreat to the upper levels, where you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bath, followed by a private top-floor owner’s suite with an en-suite bath. For relaxation, the first lower level features a cozy family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, with direct access to the patio. The lowest level provides a "bonus" space—perfect for a craft room or game room, complete with a pool table included! Key Features: Hardwood floors throughout much of the home (with more hidden beneath the carpet). Outdoor Oasis: A 26 x 12' covered patio with brick knee-walls and integrated outlets—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings. Practicality: Abundant closet space, central air, gas heat, gutter guards, and beautiful mature landscaping. This is a truly unique property that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
