About This Home

As of October 2025

Feel like you've escaped to the countryside while being only 2 miles from downtown dining, shopping, and events in this large, single level living, four sided brick European cottage. Recent updates include new hot water heater, exterior doors and lighting, landscaping, door hardware, lighting, paint, plumbing fixtures, engineered hardwoods (white oak), and more. A gracious paneled foyer greets guests and separates the primary and secondary bedrooms. Entertain from your brand new timeless chef's kitchen with attached vaulted breakfast room featuring full coffee bar. Kitchen boasts counter seating for 8 and a dining area, Kohler Artifacts faucet, marble countertops, custom details, quality unlacquered brass hardware, drawer base cabinets, and limestone look high end porcelain tiles. Three pull out pantries and an additional pantry closet provide endless storage. An oversized breakfast bar into the library makes for easy entertaining and provides views to the backyard. Newly renovated secondary bathrooms feature marble floors, custom millwork, and timeless granite counters. Enjoy an oversized primary suite with tray ceilings and upgraded tile bathroom, large walk-closet, and bay window seating area overlooking the organic English garden. An elegant, vaulted, fireside library with judges' paneling and custom built ins provides amazing storage and flows through European arches into the sunny oversized family room and dining room with crown moulding and chair rail detailing. Owners have outfitted every inch of the house with thoughtful details to add timeless charm to modern living while adding ease of organization, storage, and entertaining. (Don't miss the charming laundry/mud room and entry closet!) Putter in your large 24*24 electric workshop with two storage rooms or meander through the flagstone paths in your organic raised bed garden. Lawn equipment stores easily in the second outdoor building, while the garage outfitted with cabinets keeps everything you need at hand. The half acre lot offers a fenced area and extra parking for boats/RV/visitors. Check out this true classic in an excellent neighborhood with no HOA. Home is in great condition and is being sold as is.
