The sun-filled first floor showcases original inlay hardwood floors and an open living and dining layout that feels warm, open, and effortless. The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, classic white tile backsplash, open shelving, brass hardware, a drawer-style microwave, and a built-in coffee nook. Just beyond, a spacious private patio provides an ideal setting for morning coffee or outdoor dining, with the added convenience of a breezeway offering secondary access and everyday functionality. The second level offers two spacious bedrooms and a serene hall bathroom with a marble-topped vanity, a deep soaking tub with a tub/shower combo, crisp white subway tile, and a window that fills the space with natural light. The middle bedroom includes a thoughtfully added den-style flex space, perfect for a home office or workout area, while the south-facing front bedroom is bright and airy with generous closet space. The entire third floor is dedicated to a stunning primary suite featuring a sun-drenched south-facing bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a seamless glass shower, brass fixtures, and a custom dual-sink vanity. A fully finished basement adds even more versatility with side-by-side laundry and space for a home gym, playroom, or additional storage. Beyond its beautiful finishes, the home offers peace of mind with major system upgrades, including a brand-new HVAC system with Google Nest thermostats, a new hot water heater, all-new plumbing fixtures, and a fully updated electrical system with smart switches.
