About this home
Turn the key and fall in love with this long-loved home, where no detail has been overlooked. At the heart of the home is a light-filled kitchen with an adjacent scullery and mudroom, and a large island that opens to a welcoming dining room. The main living area offers a cozy, fireplaced living room that flows into a spacious family room, both full of custom details and character. Sliders lead to a dream garden with outdoor “rooms” perfect for relaxing and entertaining.Upstairs, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms and two full baths, including a light-filled primary en-suite with custom carpentry, a skylight for stargazing, and a beautiful tiled bath with a walk-in glass shower. Six closets, built-in drawers, accessible eaves storage, and a second washer/dryer hookup add plenty of storage and convenience.The lower level is practical and utilitarian, with a workshop area, custom storage shelving, laundry area, and a finished room offering flexibility for a variety of uses. Outside is every bit as special as the interior, with something to discover around every corner. Enjoy a pitch-and-putt, custom treehouse, quaint storage shed, garden cottage/creative studio, fire pit, deck, patio, irrigation, and a tucked-away pea gravel seating area. It's not just pretty, it’s sturdy, too! Harvey and Pella replacement windows and doors throughout, a brand-new 5-zone heating system, 2 zones of central air, a 35-year architectural roof, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, and newer plumbing. A home with this much charm, character, and thoughtful detail doesn’t come along every day. Come see for yourself — you may never want to leave! Option to purchase furnished.
