The living room is full of character, offering detailed moldings, sunrise views, and a front-row seat to your own perennial garden and porch swing. The gourmet kitchen is built for entertaining, with ceiling-height maple cabinets, granite counters, butcher block island, SS appliances, dual ovens, 36 gas cooktop, new refrigerator, and two dining areas. Andersen windows, recessed lighting, and rich hardwood floors throughout. Cozy up in the family room by the wood-burning fireplace, or head outside to the two-tier deck and patio for morning coffee. First-floor primary suite with his-and-hers closets and a beautifully updated bath. Upstairs, you'll find 3 large bedrooms w/full bath. 3-zone heat, newer furnace, 2024 gas hookup, oversized 2-car garage, underground utilities and passing septic inspection.
