This home showcases a gorgeous blend of renovating to modernize, and restoration to preserve the unique original features and character. A brand new primary bathroom adds a touch of luxury, while the window treatments and carpet enhance the style and comfort. Outdoor living is a dream with a new semi in-ground pool, Jacuzzi hot tub, and a beautifully landscaped, fenced yard. The 2 1/2 car heated garage and large shed, provide ample storage space. Original details such as the slate entryway, iron partition, built in planter, and mahogany panels retain the home's classic mid-century flair. Enjoy year-round comfort with all new HVAC--featuring a new furnace, condenser, and hard ductwork--plus radiant baseboard heating as well. Extensive updates include new drain lines, crawl space waterproofing with inner and outer drain tiles, two sump pump pits--and a transferable lifetime warranty. Other recent upgrades include a new hot water heater, attic insulation with two solar fans, new storm doors, new chimney lining, new electrical panel, and a new washer and dryer.
