About This Home
A charming, bright, and light Tudor located on a fabulous, quiet street in the heart of Kenilworth. Completely rebuilt in 1997...including a new foundation...this home was taken down to the studs and redesigned with an exceptional floor plan ideal for today's living! Step inside to a spacious living room with beautiful hardwood floors, seamlessly flowing into the dining area. The open layout continues into an ideal kitchen and family room combination with wonderful sightlines to the backyard...truly the hub of the home. The kitchen features a peninsula with seating, an island, abundance of storage, stainless steel appliances, and a picture-perfect eat-in area. The kitchen opens to the large family room with custom built-ins and a butler's pantry...ideal for entertaining. Sliding glass doors lead to an oversized, newer deck...perfect for soaking up summer days, dining al fresco, and enjoying the beautifully landscaped backyard full of gorgeous hydrangeas. The first floor also offers a bedroom and full bath, currently used as a home office, providing excellent flexibility to suit your needs. Upstairs, a sun-filled staircase leads to a generous landing and a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bath featuring marble countertops, a soaking tub, separate shower, makeup vanity, and four closets, including two walk-ins! Two additional well-sized bedrooms, a large hall bath, and a fantastic second-floor laundry room with ample storage complete the level. The unfinished basement offers endless possibilities...bring your vision and design it to fit your lifestyle or keep it as is.
