Welcome to your picture perfect farmhouse dream. Originally constructed in 1900, this idyllic farmhouse has been preserved and updated with gorgeous modern amenities. From the welcoming front porch to the arched interior details, original built-ins, and gorgeous custom kitchen cabinetry, this home perfectly marries old and new. On a sprawling 1.32 acre lot, the exterior of the home features NEW custom wood fencing, freshly refinished porches, beautiful professional landscaping, a firepit perfect for summer entertainment, and a pastoral bank barn. The current owners also expanded and re-stoned the driveway to maximize the parking areas. Entering through the restored front door, you'll step into the designer living room featuring new luxury plank flooring and arched entryway flowing directly into the large formal dining room with custom built-ins. Just off the dining room you'll find the updated eat-in kitchen with custom ceiling height cabinetry showcasing high-end hardware imported from Italy. With updated countertops, new appliances, a new range wall backsplash, a classic white farmhouse sink, and a Dutch door to the adorable back porch, the kitchen is both contemporary and nostalgic. The powder room is also located on the main floor. Moving to the second floor, you'll find stunning original hardwood floors and three sizable bedrooms, plus the recently updated full bath with an arched marble and tile shower, coffered ceiling, and original built-in storage cabinet. The third floor includes the large fourth bedroom with a spacious closet. The home showcases replacement windows throughout and a newly installed water remediation and drainage system in the basement to keep things tidy and dry. Located in the highly-regarded Owen J. Roberts School District and in close proximity to 422 for easy commuting, this idyllic and move-in ready farmhouse won't last long. Make plans to see it today.
