Beautiful oak wood floors, high ceilings, natural woodwork, deep windowsills, crown moldings, and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming feel.

The upgraded eat-in kitchen combines character with thoughtful updates and is a wonderful space for cooking, gathering, and everyday life. Custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, built-ins, radiant-heated tile flooring, a cooktop, Dacor double wall ovens and warming drawer, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, tile backsplash, large stainless steel counter-depth refrigerator, double sink with disposal, pantry cabinet, and spice storage make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Just beyond is a charming butler’s pantry that preserves some of the home’s original character and adds additional storage and workspace. The second floor offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a beautiful bay window. The renovated hall bath features tile and marble finishes, a walk-in shower with glass doors, and a large linen closet. An additional oversized hall linen closet provides even more storage.

With six bedrooms in all, there is plenty of space to create guest rooms, home offices, hobby rooms, or whatever best suits your needs. The basement houses the laundry area and offers built-in shelving, closets, additional storage, and an outside exit, with potential for future finished space. Additional features include gas heat and updated 200-amp electrical service. Out back, a rear porch leads to the deck and a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for outdoor dining, grilling, gardening, play, or simply relaxing.
