About This Home

As of April 2025

This home has been significantly renovated. It offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and approximately 3000 square feet of living space and rests on just over an acre of land. A list of improvements and enhancement, as well as many of the providers can be found on the last page of the Seller's Disclosure. An open floor plan was created by the removal of the walls separating the kitchen from the dining room, the dining room from the living and the creation of an open staircase. All these features enhanced the flow to provide a contemporary first floor. The previous owner added a first-floor master and a walk-in closet to the rear right side of the house. This space has been structurally altered and now offers a generous bedroom, a custom appointed walk-in closet with a full ensuite bathroom. Uniquely, another first floor bedroom of generous proportions occupies the front right side. It could be used as designed or as a family room, office or library taking advantage of a full wall of built-in shelves. A full bathroom is directly across the hall. These two first floor spaces are separated by a very handy stackable laundry. The kitchen is completely new in all aspects: appliances, cabinets, countertops, floor tile and enjoys wonderful morning light. The rear half covered deck 14’ x 14’ is easily accessed from the kitchen and provides a very quiet and private hideaway. The dining room abuts the kitchen as part of the newly created open floor plan and enjoys the same morning light through a large picture window with side panels. The living room abuts the dining room and now features a state-of-the-art vented gas log set, whose wooden crafted surround compliments the original traditional features. Two generous bedrooms of similar size on the second floor share a full bath and each room offers great closet space. The half basement, running the full width of the home is 15’ x 47’ can be finished with the addition of a drop ceiling, and if desired the existing second laundry on one side of the staircase could be separated from an equal space on the other side. All the wood floors on the first floor and the main staircase have been refinished. New tile adorns the bright kitchen. Virtually every interior space has been repainted with neutral colors. Among the improvements made to the exterior include a new front porch, new slate walkways, driveway ground lighting and three post lights. There is plenty of on driveway parking. Two of the spaces rest at the end of the driveway and in no way impede access to the garage or the new slate walkway that leads to the rear patio, deck, and rear entrance. A 10’ x 15’ shed with windows on the side and rear is a welcome addition to the grounds. It rests on the other side of the rear walkway on a poured concreate base with both side and rear entrances. A gated wrought iron fence runs from the end of the driveway to the shed and from the other side of the shed to the end of the walkway. A significant amount of exterior siding was replaced with hardie board, several soffits replaced or repaired and the entire exterior prepared and painted. The roof was thoroughly power washed, as well as the stone front and foundation. An extensive landscape package was added, around the house, driveway side and street side on the other side of a wraparound six-foot solid wooden fence. Last, but not least, a newly renovated "dell" across the stream was brought back to life, guarded by a large stately clay Lion begging for a fire pit.
