A charming front porch welcomes you into a sun-drenched living room featuring original hardwood floors, wide baseboards, and marble window sills - centered around a dramatic woodburning masonry fireplace with floor-to-ceiling brick surround. The intelligently renovated floor plan creates a seamless, circular flow, leading into a fully remodeled Kitchen equipped with luxury plank flooring, two-tone, dovetailed, soft-close cabinetry with versatile pull-out drawers, quartz countertops, and premium stainless steel appliances including a gas range and hood. The Primary Retreat boasts new windows, dual step-in closets, and an adjacent spa-like Bath featuring a tub with shower and floor-to-ceiling tile work, removable mounted showerhead, quartz topped vanity, timeless medicine cabinet, and deep linen storage. Additional bedrooms offer rich hardwood flooring, ample closets, and access to a second fully renovated Bath featuring a quartz-topped vanity and modern shower with sliding glass door. Practicality meets style in the oversized finished Garage - ideal for a workshop or storage - which leads to a dedicated Mudroom and Laundry area. The quaint Dining space opens via sliding door to an expansive, fenced Backyard sanctuary - complete with a built-in fire pit, storage barn, and both covered and uncovered patio spaces framed by a private tree line. *NEW*: 2021- Plumbing, Electrical updates, Water Heater, Water Softener, Appliances, Kitchen, 2nd Bath & Mudroom Renovation; 2022- Roof, Gutters, Garage Door; 2024- Windows, Main Bath.
