Description

Detached single-family home nestled on a quiet tree-lined block, this residence welcomes you with a classic brick façade and an enclosed front porch entry, along with a private driveway that comfortably fits several cars. Step into the enclosed front porch foyer, a bright space with bay-style windows that flood the room with natural light, offering the perfect spot for a reading nook or seasonal display before glass-paned doors lead you inside. The main level unfolds into a living room defined by gleaming hardwood floors, custom built-in shelving, and elegant French doors, creating a warm yet sophisticated gathering space. Adjacent, the formal dining room is illuminated by a chandelier and tall windows, providing a graceful setting for family meals and entertaining. At the rear, the kitchen impresses with rich wooden cabinetry, granite counters, a striking tile backsplash, and a large center island with pendant lighting, ideal for both cooking and casual dining; stainless steel appliances complete the space, and a conveniently located bathroom sits just off the kitchen. A glass-paned rear door opens directly to the deck and fully enclosed backyard, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the third floor offers three spacious bedrooms, each featuring hardwood floors, ample closet space, and large windows that bathe the rooms in light. The full hallway bathroom is finished with marble-style tile, a sleek vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower and tub. The fourth floor houses a full attic, a wide-open expanse with pitched ceilings and exposed beams, offering flexibility for many different uses. The basement provides a true blank canvas with multiple rooms ready to be customized, complemented by a full bathroom for convenience. Outdoors, the enclosed backyard is designed for entertaining with a covered outdoor kitchen and grilling station, durable tiled flooring, and plenty of room for seating. At the rear, the converted garage has been transformed into a self-contained suite with a full bathroom, a closet, and a Murphy bed. Altogether, this home blends timeless charm with versatile living, offering practicality and possibility on every level. All showings are exclusively conducted through open houses; private viewings are NOT an option, so kindly refrain from requesting a private viewing as we are unable to accommodate such request. Open House times will be posted one week prior to the scheduled open house to allow ample planning time. We ask that all interested parties keep it saved online so you can receive notifications about upcoming open house times, and when an upcoming open house time is made available, you’ll be notified.
