Move-in ready and extensively improved, this inviting home blends timeless character with modern comfort: a renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, and fresh interior and exterior paint are among many recent improvements throughout. A beautifully appointed chefs kitchen opens to a stunning dining room where a full wall of windows looks out to an expansive yard and water views that create a truly idyllic backdrop. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, flows directly to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A spacious family room with its own fireplace and French doors offers a relaxed setting for everyday gatherings. A private office and separate den provide flexible spaces to work or retreat. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a newly renovated bath, plus a secondary bedroom privately situated alongside an updated full bath, offering flexibility as a guest suite when needed. The finished lower level adds bonus space for recreation/fitness, or media, with ample storage. Some places let you escape. Some let you stay connected. 493 Valley Road does both. Peace and convenience, without compromise.
