Step into this updated Victorian, set on over an acre of meticulously maintained, park-like grounds. Nestled in a serene setting, this home offers the perfect balance of space and comfort. A welcoming covered porch invites you inside, where soaring ceilings and wood floors create an atmosphere of elegant craftsmanship. The spacious first-floor layout features formal living and dining rooms, perfect for entertainment. The updated kitchen is a chef’s delight, boasting stainless steel appliances, an abundance of cabinetry, a large center island, a butler’s pantry, and granite countertops. A sunlit dining area overlooks the inviting family room, with a cozy fireplace as the focal point. Sliding glass doors lead to a private, park-like backyard, blending indoor and outdoor living. The first floor also includes a versatile office that can double as a guest room, a powder room, and a laundry area with direct access to the rear yard. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, including a primary suite with a double-door entry and a luxurious, updated bath (2021). This spa-like oasis features radiant heated floors, recessed lighting, a double-sink vanity, a whirlpool tub, and a spacious glass-enclosed shower. A full basement with ample storage, utilities, and exterior entry adds even more functionality to this exceptional home. Recent upgrades include irrigation (2017), a driveway (2019), an oil tank (2021), and a whole AC system (2023). Outside, the fully fenced, sprawling grounds offer lush landscaping, mature trees, and a tranquil setting for outdoor gatherings. A large rear deck with a SunSetter awning (2020) provides the perfect space for entertainment, intimate dining, or simply relaxing in the shade. Whether you enjoy morning coffee on the porch or host guests under the stars, this exceptional property is rare.
