Experience luxury and comfort in this beautiful home in the highly desirable Fort Sumner community. Built in 1957 and thoughtfully updated over the years, this meticulously maintained five-level residence blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Newly refinished hardwood floors flow throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you enter. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring a new LG dual fuel range/oven, stainless steel appliances, two stainless sinks, granite countertops, and cherry cabinets with a light finish. Lighted, frosted-glass upper cabinets add a touch of sophistication, making this space a dream for anyone who loves to cook.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the bright dining area offers built-ins, a window seat, sliding doors, and wall sconces—an inviting setting for family meals or entertaining, filled with natural light. The living room is equally welcoming, anchored by a corner brick fireplace and a large bay window that captures southern sunlight. A tasteful renovation opened the spaces of the main level, modernizing the flow, and allowing for the addition of a convenient powder room.
Just a few steps up, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and beautifully updated bathroom with heated marble flooring. Two additional bedrooms with generous closets and a renovated hall bath complete this level. The upper level, added in 2017, includes a fourth bedroom with a full bath, extensive built-in shelving, and a mini-split system for added comfort. Together, the two upper levels offer four spacious bedrooms, three full baths, and comfortable landing areas that are wider than typically found in homes of this style.
Just a few steps down from the main level, the wood-paneled family room provides ample flexible space for everyday life. This level also includes a home office, a mudroom area, and access to the large one-car garage.
The finished basement, completed in 2021, features a second fireplace, modern porcelain plank flooring, and abundant natural light—ideal as a playroom, gym or casual gathering space. A powder room, laundry area with washer and dryer, and a utility room complete this level.
Every level of the home seamlessly integrates attractive storage, from grand solutions such as the expansive basement pantry crafted from Natural Maple and the 15’ family room closet outfitted with adjustable shelving, to more subtle spaces such as recessed towel niches in bathrooms and tucked-away bookshelves in the Living Room. The unfinished floored attic provides extensive additional storage capacity.
Outdoors, a landscaped backyard with lighted stone retaining walls and a screened porch creates a peaceful retreat for summer evenings and welcoming entertaining space for weekend gatherings. The large, level lawn under a graceful shade tree invites ball games. For further recreation, a membership at the nearby Mohican Swim Club can be conveyed, allowing you to skip the 7-year waiting list. (Buyer responsible for transfer fee.)

With thoughtful updates, high-end finishes, and an inviting layout filled with natural light, this Fort Sumner residence blends comfort, style and practicality.
