Offering approximately 3,500 sq ft above grade plus an additional 1,000 sq ft walkout finished basement, this historic home blends architectural charm with modern comfort. Set on an expansive 70x165 lot, the property features stunning landscaped gardens, a patio with pergola, brick paver driveway, raised garden beds, new perimeter fence, and a detached 2-car garage-a perfect outdoor retreat for entertaining or relaxing. A gracious front porch leads to a welcoming foyer and a classic floor plan filled with natural light. The living room showcases large windows, custom sisal carpet, built-in bookcases, and a gas fireplace (new liner and firebox). The inviting family room addition offers a second fireplace, built-in bookcases and desk, and radiant heated floors, creating a warm, open-concept space for everyday living. The fully renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring radiant heated floors, quartzite counters and backsplash, exquisite tilework, custom cabinets, and a Bertazzoni induction range. Upstairs, the second floor includes three bedrooms, two baths (both with radiant heated floors), and a convenient laundry closet. The primary suite offers custom closets and recessed lighting, plus a stylishly renovated primary bathroom. The third floor adds exceptional versatility with two additional bedrooms-each with semi-custom built-ins, mini-split systems, and an updated full bath featuring a newer shower, vanity, and door. The finished basement includes a family room, office/den/gym, full bath, second laundry room, and a large storage closet. Additional highlights include new Marvin windows on the first and second floors (except one middle bedroom and the hall bath), and new windows on the third floor.

A perfect blend of history, elegance, and modern living. See the feature sheet for a complete list of updates.
