About This Home

Tucked at the end of the street on a gentle hill with wooded views and a fantastic sense of privacy, this Charleston-inspired gem has the kind of personality and vibe buyers constantly seek but rarely find. Sunlight pours through newer windows, highlighting the character details that make this home unforgettable: parquet floors, built-in bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and inviting spaces that feel both stylish and effortlessly livable. The remodeled open kitchen was designed for real life and real entertaining, with great sight lines, a gas cooktop, island seating, and easy flow into the surrounding living spaces. Multiple outdoor sitting areas create the perfect setup for morning coffee, dinner with friends, or unwinding under the trees after work. The fenced backyard feels like a hidden garden retreat thanks to year-round blooms and thoughtful landscaping originally created by a master gardener. Need space to work, create, or escape for a Zoom call? The updated detached art shed/office adds the kind of flex space that you can actually use. Big-ticket updates also bring peace of mind, including a newer roof (2022), HVAC systems (2025), windows (2024), front door (2026), fence (2022), foundation improvements (2025), and dishwasher (2025), many with transferable warranties. Transferable flood insurance is also available. Quiet, peaceful, and full of charm, this location is surrounded by nature yet remains minutes from Silverspot, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Wegmans, and your venti double caramel macchiato. This is the kind of home that feels instantly different the moment you pull up and every minute you spend inside.
