Property Description
This appealing home of solid brick construction displays many characteristics of larger homes in the neighborhood. The slate roof, a dressed stone retaining wall, and the distinctive fluted moldings that surround the front door are a few of its quality features. Fully functioning exterior wood shutters are a rare detail and much appreciated by historic house lovers.
Large windows on all four sides of the house bring in light all day. Picket fencing defines the cottage gardens that surround the house. A smartly designed patio surrounded by flowers and trees is perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Inside, a gracious foyer opens to a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace, and continues to an endearing enclosed porch with separate heating and cooling. On the opposite side of the foyer is a formal dining room, behind which is a spectacular kitchen addition. The kitchen addition was remodeled in 2020. The kitchen has a peninsula that accommodates stools for the company of guests while you cook, and a cathedral ceiling, a skylight, and a wall of windows that overlook the rear garden and patio. The kitchen has a pantry and convenient access to the patio. There is a powder room on the main level. On the second level, there are three bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom has two closets. The hall bath is fully remodeled with a shower. There is a linen closet.
The lower level is finished as a family/TV room and has space for a sitting area or desk. There is a full bath with a shower. There is a cedar lined closet in the lower level. On the unfinished side of the lower level is a laundry, a generous storage area and utilities.
The gas boiler was replaced in 2023. The water heater was replaced in 2019. The central air conditioner , located in the attic, was new in 2024.
There is a detached garage with alley access and a side door to the garden.
