About This Home

As of August 2016

This enchanting home on an expansive lot features modern updates atop a retro foundation. The family made additions to the original double-sized lot, expanding the home to 2,944 sq ft. With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and two full kitchens, there is plenty of space available for entertaining! The main great room has a cozy fireplace and a charming exposed wood beam. The plethora of counter space accents the stainless steel appliances which shine in the flood of natural light from numerous windows. The second kitchen goes retro style with checkered flooring and a quaint breakfast nook. Upstairs, the master suite has a double vanity with separate shower and tub with iridescent tiling in the shower, adding to the contemporary styling. The bedrooms feature ceilings with headroom for a loft bed and plush carpets. Outside, the classic, semicircular steps of the patio lead to a lush backyard of bright plants and trees. Truly a must see!
