this charming and beautifully maintained victorian home effortlessly blends classic character with modern comfort. from the covered front porch, step inside the inviting first floor featuring an open-concept layout where the cozy living room with updated ceiling fan, recessed lighting and wood-burning fireplace flanked on either side by built-in cabinetry flows seamlessly into a tastefully updated kitchen. here, you'll find a central island with a gas range and counter seating - perfect for casual meals or entertaining - along with a separate eat-in area that adds flexibility for family dining. the kitchen also includes a spacious pantry closet, silestone counters, large farmhouse sink and stainless appliances including newer refrigerator and dishwasher with a convenient half bath with newer vanity and laundry nearby. just beyond, a hallway leads to a generous 21x12 family room addition (2017) with newer hw floors and is ideal for family and friend gatherings and relaxation, complete with newer cabinetry, bar sink and built-in refrigerator for added comfort and functionality. this room has a soaring high ceiling with fan, and is flooded with natural light thanks to the plethora of windows both high and low. a new sliding glass door provides easy access to the recently enlarged bluestone patio, ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. the pretty exterior yard, thoughtfully maintained with newer landscaping beds, expanded fenced backyard lawn and flagstone walkways with cobblestone edging both front and back, an ev charger, and a rain bird irrigation system, also boasts a detached former garage that the owners converted into a wonderful workout room complete with newer mini-split hvac system, laminate flooring, updated electric and cable and new doors. this versatile 300 sq foot space could also be your home office, a studio or a private retreat - anything your family might want or need!
back inside, the upper two floors continue the home's spacious and comfortable feel, each floor offering two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath creating flexible living arrangements for family or guests. the 2nd floor is home to the primary bedroom, upgraded with a new ceiling fan and a lovely and generous 110 sq foot walk-in closet added from space that was formerly a small study. the full bath has a large double sink vanity and tub/shower combo with an electric heated floor. the 3rd floor full bath has been completely renovated with modern vanity, shower, toilet, lighting and an electric heated floor as well.
the lower level full basement with walk-up stairs to the exterior side yard offers both a roomy storage and mechanicals area, and a separate 250' newly finished area, with laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and newer duct work and baseboard heat and is a blank canvas ready to become whatever best suits your family: a children's play area or a teen hangout for movie nites or gaming.
