About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated brick and stone ranch combines timeless elegance with modern comfort. The home features a bright, open floor plan that has been meticulously maintained and stylishly appointed throughout. Step into the dramatic living room, where a vaulted ceiling and striking fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Just off the main living space, a sun-filled vaulted sunroom offers picturesque views of the manicured front garden through its expansive windows. The heart of the home is a spacious gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom Amish cabinetry, granite countertops, and premium appliances. It flows seamlessly into the vaulted breakfast room with custom built-ins and continues into the adjacent family room, highlighted by a tray ceiling and marble-surround fireplace. Four generously sized, light-filled bedrooms feature custom-designed closets by Closets by Design. The home also boasts recently renovated bathrooms, refinished hardwood flooring throughout, and elegant plantation shutters. Additional conveniences include a main-level laundry room and a mudroom with built-in cabinetry. Downstairs, the finished basement offers 600 square feet of flexible recreation space and storage. Step outside to a private backyard retreat, professionally landscaped and designed for year-round enjoyment. A stone wood-burning fireplace, paver patio, winding walkways, and stone half-walls are nestled among vibrant perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, and mature trees. The fenced yard is equipped with an in-ground sprinkler system, completing this peaceful outdoor sanctuary.
