Property Description
The first floor boasts luxurious modern conveniences and a bright, contemporary feel mixed with traditional treasures. The living room has freshly refinished hardwood floors, crisp white walls, high-end window shutters, and brand new sconces. Custom architectural details like the ornate trim along the staircase and kitchen entryway nod to the home's original charm. The large open-concept kitchen offers both style and function. Granite countertops, warm maple cabinetry, a large center island with seating for four, and stainless steel appliances make this a kitchen a dream for family meals, homework sessions, or entertaining with friends. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunny dining area, complete with a full wall of built-in cabinetry and glass-front shelving. A three-quarter bathroom and large bedroom offer an opportunity for first floor living. The sunken family room is a show-stopping space—designed to blur the line between indoor comfort and the beauty of the outdoors. Surrounded by walls of windows, this expansive room is drenched in natural light and offers uninterrupted views of the lush, private backyard. The elegant, newly restored staircase draws your eye upward to the living quarters where comfort is of the utmost priority. The primary bedroom impresses with its generous proportions, soft recessed lighting, rich hardwood floors, and an opulent built-in wall of custom cabinetry that offers stylish storage and display space. Step through to the custom walk-in closet, thoughtfully outfitted with abundant shelving, hanging space, drawers, and even built-in shoe cubbies. The ensuite bath is spa-inspired, featuring a deep jetted soaking tub, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and dual vanities with sleek white cabinetry and marble countertops. Two additional, generously proportioned bedrooms are served by a stylish hall bathroom. Completing the second floor is the ultimate modern upgrade: a brand-new, custom laundry room. An undermount sink with a brushed gold faucet and wrap around custom cabinetry add a luxurious, practical touch. Rich hardwood floors and a contemporary ceiling light complete the space. And for those working from home or needing flex space, the finished third floor—now equipped with brand-new baseboard heaters and ceiling fans, offers quiet versatility for a home office or playroom.
The lower level offers incredible flexibility with an open layout and multiple functional zones. Enjoy a complete second kitchen with a gas range, full sized refrigerator and expansive counter space.
The updates extend well beyond aesthetics: a new roof, new vinyl siding (no stucco here!), new soffits, new trim, and new gutters to ensure exterior longevity. Inside, major systems have been smartly upgraded: new air conditioner for the first floor, a new furnace, and new water heaters on both the lower and upper levels (complete with auto-shutoff leak sensors). You'll also appreciate the modern electrical panel with built-in surge protection, GFCI breakers, and a portable generator switch panel for customized backup power. Outside, the new landscaping, partial privacy fence, and treated trees in the front and back yards create a peaceful outdoor setting. Practical touches like a new garage door motor, alarm system with video doorbell, and updated basement security keypad lock complete the picture of a home that's been lovingly maintained and intelligently improved.
