The generous 3,605 sq. ft. lot affords plenty of opportunities for relaxation and year-round outdoor entertaining in the well-designed backyard with its verdant lawn area and lounging patio. Raised planters and garden beds help you propagate the organic garden of your dreams; the majestic shade tree whispers the wisdom of generations past.

Find inspiration to compose a sonnet as you enter through the lush front yard with its low-profile natural wood fencing and the porch with slim columns and colonial-inspired lantern lighting. Inside, the open concept living and family areas nod to traditional opulence with the slate grey original woodburning fireplace flanked by period built-ins, beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings. Natural light abounds with windows all around, augmented by recessed can and modern accent lighting. A graceful, wide archway introduces the guest-ready dining area defined by its large window and double drum chandelier; this room segues seamlessly into the gleaming, completely modernized kitchen. Here, the king-sized quartz island houses a sleek range top, commercial-grade exhaust hood and three-seat breakfast counter. Packed with top-brand stainless-steel appliances, including an extra-large fridge, microwave, and dishwasher, the kitchen is ringed with cabinets offset by an eye-catching metallic scallop tile backsplash. The cheerful nook offers yet another option for casual meals. Downstairs, the basement provides extra storage for utility items.

With a pristine tub/shower combination lined by traditional subway tile and a contemporary wooden vanity and globe lighting, the guest bath masterfully balances tradition and innovation. Trendy Bohemian mosaic tile leads into the deluxe laundry room with built-in storage and direct access to the delightful back porch. The uppermost level is home to a serene bedroom getaway with bamboo pendant lighting and its own sunny reading nook, walk-in closet, and an adjacent office/retreat with magical sloped ceilings and the promise of utter solitude.
