Inside, vintage character and modern comfort come together in a warm, inviting setting. The main level includes two bedrooms, one with a nostalgic cedar closet, and a renovated full bath dressed in Scalamandré wallpaper that lovingly preserves much of the home’s original tile, a perfect blend of heritage and designer style. It’s a rare combination for buyers who want one-level living without giving up space. The updated kitchen pairs a farmhouse sink and tile backsplash with upgraded countertops and gas cooking, and the dining room glows beneath a designer-inspired light fixture, a charming spot for morning coffee. The dining room opens to the great room, ready for lingering dinners, holiday gatherings, and the moments worth remembering. Curl up by the gas fireplace in the inviting living room, softly lit by a designer-inspired fixture, or gather in the great room, where custom built-ins and a sunlit bay window are made for displaying heirlooms, books, and treasured collections. Step out to the deck and a private, flat backyard with mature trees and ample green space, a peaceful garden retreat for morning coffee or evenings outdoors. Upstairs, the private primary suite spans the entire top floor, a cozy hideaway with a walk-in closet, charming built-in chests, and an ensuite primary bath with a walk-in shower. The fully finished basement adds flexible living space: a fourth bedroom with a built-in desk and shelving for a home office or guest suite, a third full bath with a walk-in shower, and a rec room with custom built-in shelves and cabinets. The laundry room is as pretty as it is practical, with a farmhouse sink, beverage refrigerator, extra counter space, and floating shelves.
