Property Description

A beautiful blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern updates! Built in 1900, this well-loved home showcases the charm of its era with original woodwork, oak flooring, graceful colonnades, built-ins, and an abundance of character throughout, while a recent addition brings exceptional comfort and functionality to the home. Step inside through the inviting three-season porch—a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind at the end of the day, or simply take in the beauty of the surrounding yard. The main floor continues with elegant formal living and dining rooms, featuring beautiful oak floors, classic colonnades, and built-in glass-front cabinetry that add warmth and character to these welcoming spaces. Just off the kitchen, the cozy family room offers a more relaxed gathering space for everyday living. The updated kitchen combines style and function with plenty of cabinetry and countertop space, a casual eating area, and a charming pantry tucked neatly beneath the stairs. A convenient ¾ bathroom completes the main floor. The mudroom provides plenty of practical “catch-all” space and serves as a convenient hub connecting the original home to the newer oversized heated double garage and an absolutely gorgeous primary suite, which is an oasis! This spacious retreat features a generous bedroom, two linen closets, a convenient laundry closet, an impressive walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The spacious bath offers a zero-entry walk-in shower with heated flooring for an extra touch of everyday luxury. The thoughtful design of this suite creates a private and comfortable retreat you'll look forward to coming home to. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing plenty of space for family, guests, hobbies, or a home office. The deep basement offers even more possibilities, with interior and exterior tile drainage systems, a dedicated craft room, workshop area, abundant storage, and potential for additional finished living space. Whether you need room for projects, hobbies, storage, or future expansion, there is plenty of opportunity here. Outside, the property continues to impress with beautiful landscaping and an abundance of established perennials nestled beneath the shade of mature oak trees. A detached double garage offers additional parking, storage, and workspace, complete with a newer concrete floor and attic storage. This move-in-ready home has been lovingly cared for and beautifully blends the character and craftsmanship of 1900 with thoughtful improvements for modern living. A home with this much charm, space, and versatility is truly a gem—don't miss your opportunity to see it!
