When you step through the front door you immediately notice the warmth of the hardwood floors and the recessed lighting as well as the beautiful light fixture that brightens the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The freshly painted walls and new baseboards throughout the first floor give the space a clean and welcoming feel. Moving into the dining room you will find a truly unique feature — a fireplace built directly into the kitchen island. This unexpected touch creates a warm focal point and makes the kitchen and dining area a natural gathering space for family dinners or evenings spent entertaining friends. The kitchen sits comfortably at the heart of the home, allowing the main living spaces to flow together in a way that feels both open and inviting. Downstairs, the partially finished basement offers additional living space along with a full bathroom. Whether used as a recreation room, home office, workout space, or guest area, it provides the flexibility that today’s homeowners appreciate. Upstairs, the well-maintained parquet wood floors continue the character of the home. The second-floor bathroom, one of the most recent renovations, has been beautifully updated and truly takes the space to another level with its modern design and finishes. With renovations completed over several years and thoughtful improvements throughout, this home offers the perfect balance of character, comfort, and move-in ready convenience. It’s easy to imagine settling in and making this space your own. *** Home comes with solar panels with an assumable lease. Details of the lease are available upon request.
