For the traditional homebuyer, it represents the ultimate peace-of-mind starter home, boasting a complete system overhaul that functions like modern construction behind the walls. For builders and investors, it serves as a highly strategic opportunity to execute a luxury expansion or build a custom residence. The interior transitions effortlessly from traditional architectural character into high-end designer finishes. Gleaming, meticulously refinished original hardwood floors sweep across the bright main level. The inviting living room serves as a spacious gathering hub anchored by a warm wood-burning fireplace that was fully updated and waterproofed for optimal safety and performance. From the formal dining room, the layout flows seamlessly into a magnificent, fully gutted and renovated gourmet kitchen. Designed for upscale utility, this space features radiant Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with premium soft-close drawers, a grand central island for casual dining, and a top-tier stainless steel Samsung appliance suite. Just off the dining area, a charming three-season sunroom featuring new tile flooring and a ceiling fan offers a peaceful seasonal retreat. The main floor is rounded out by two comfortable bedrooms and a pristine, updated full bathroom. The entire second floor unfolds into a private master suite sanctuary boasting brand-new hardwood floors. This beautifully rehabilitated retreat features a large bedroom area, a private en-suite bathroom with a spacious stall shower, and an expansive custom-designed walk-in closet complete with a specialized organization system. The living space extends directly into a beautifully private, fully enclosed backyard oasis secured by low-maintenance white vinyl privacy fencing. A large new paver patio serves as the ultimate outdoor entertaining venue, enhanced by a dedicated, built-in natural gas connection that plugs your grill straight into the house line to eliminate propane tanks forever. The electrical system is smart-home ready with a dedicated Tesla EV Charger and a professional backup generator hookup wired directly to the main service panel, complete with an included high-powered Westinghouse portable generator. Beneath the house, a massive, unfinished full basement provides vast storage space, a clean laundry area, and perfect potential for future finishing. Most plumbing components have been replaced with freeze-resistant PEX piping and new valves, a new pressure reducing valve, and a brand-new, high-capacity fifty-gallon water heater. Complemented by crisp central air conditioning, a shingle roof, and a stellar location just minutes from highly rated local schools and transit routes, this turn-key gem is ready for its next chapter.
