About This Home
As of January 2026From the moment you approach, the home captivates with its soft exterior color palette, cedar shake shingles, and stately carriage doors on the large, two-story three-stall garage. Upon entering, you'll immediately notice the enduring character and craftsmanship. A formal entry leads into a great room where original hardwood floors gleam throughout. The focal point of the great room is a perfectly centered brick-surround wood-burning fireplace flanked by original built-ins. Arched entries lead to a bright, sunny bonus room, ideal for a reading nook, office, or play space, and a spacious dining room. The dining area benefits from abundant natural light streaming in through a large slider that opens to an expansive deck, adorned with a pergola and canopies perfect for summer entertaining. Adjacent to the dining room is a chef's kitchen, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, beautiful countertops, and ample storage. The kitchen also features a large breakfast bar and a hearth room or additional eat-in space.The upstairs level offers three spacious bedrooms, an updated full bath, and a generous balcony space, perfect for additional entertaining.This home also boasts several exceptional bonuses: Lower-level hook-ups for a double washer and double dryer. A large, heated bonus space above the oversized three-stall garage, ideal for woodworking, a car enthusiast, or a workshop. A full privacy fence with double doors off the driveway, creating a private and kid-friendly zone. An additional large deck off the garage.This one-of-a-kind home offers so much more and truly won't last long on the market. Please do not hesitate to call me for further details or to schedule a private showing.
