Positioned on a beautifully landscaped third-of-an-acre lot designed by Craig Bergmann Landscape Design, just minutes from downtown, this 1945 home has known only three owners and reflects over thirty years of meticulous care by its current owners. Natural light and garden views fill the main level through expansive picture windows. The flexible layout connects a living room with custom built-ins and a gas fireplace to an adjacent den, formal dining room, and an all-seasons sunroom with an awning. A bright, traditional kitchen offers casual dining space, complemented by pantry storage and a main-level powder room. Classic details like crown molding and architectural built-ins throughout reflect the home's historic character. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms feature generous closets and alcoves designed for window seating. A shared hall bath and period accents like a built-in linen closet and laundry chute showcase original craftsmanship. Below, the 1,025-square-foot semi-finished basement provides daylight windows, a laundry area, a workshop, recreation space, and extensive storage. Designed by Craig Bergmann Landscape Design, the fully fenced yard features bluestone patios and pathways, low-voltage brass lighting, a gas fire pit, manicured lawns, and perennial beds. Substantial improvements and enhancements over the years offer the next owner peace of mind, including a top-tier Carrier gas furnace with air purification, a 22 kW Generac standby generator, a rebuilt Chicago brick chimney, a premium cedar shake roof with copper gutters, extensive underground site drainage, invisible fence, and a detached two-car garage with epoxy-flake flooring.
