This exceptional residence offers endless potential to make it truly your own. You'll be immediately impressed upon entering the grand oval foyer, featuring a stunning, welcoming open staircase. From there, enjoy views into the spacious step down living room anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace. The ornate crown moldings add to the tremendous character of the room. The elegant formal dining room, located just off the kitchen, showcases lavish crown molding and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light. The expansive kitchen features a generous island and a bright breakfast area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The family room is also nicely sized, providing additional comfortable living space as well as a wet bar and cozy wood burning fireplace with a gas start. There are sliding glass doors from the family room to the yard. The home offers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. The primary suite is generously proportioned and includes a massive private bath. There is a 1st floor laundry room with a wash tub and access to the yard.. The finished basement adds even more living and recreational space and features a half bath with a brand new vanity. You will appreciate the basement kitchen! There is very generous storage space with a walk in attic and a walk in crawl. Recent improvements include a new basement bathroom vanity installed in 2025, exterior painting completed in 2024, new steps added in the back laundry room from the den in 2024, and tuckpointing completed the same year. A new living room fireplace with an electric starter was added in 2023. In 2022, the home received new basement windows along with professional leak repair by U. S. Waterproofing, as well as a new dishwasher. The bluestone front walk and porch were completed in 2018, outdoor lamps were installed in 2010, and the roof along with a wide gutter upgrade was completed in 2008. There is a natural gas line to the grill. There is also a in home security system. The backyard is truly the jewel of this property-nearly an acre of peaceful beauty that will soon burst into a symphony of blooming flowers.
