About This Home

Historic Elegance, Contemporary Comfort: Step onto the expansive front porch of this beautifully renovated brick Victorian and prepare to be impressed. The main level welcomes you with a large, sun-drenched living room anchored by a graceful decorative fireplace. Host effortless dinner parties or game nights in the formal dining room, featuring classic corner cabinets and ample space for a full-sized sideboard and table. The kitchen is a monochromatic dream, boasting crisp white cabinetry, sophisticated white-and-gray granite countertops, and elegant, polished white with gray tile flooring. Transition seamlessly from indoor cooking to outdoor living via the screened-in porch, leading to a private deck and a sparkling swimming pool. Second Floor: Features refinished oak stairs leading to two oversized bedrooms and a luxurious primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and a private ensuite bath. Third Floor: Offers two additional versatile rooms—perfect for a home gym, hobby space, or extra bedrooms—plus exceptional storage and panoramic views. Finished Basement: Fully tiled and incredibly functional, this level includes a dedicated office/study, an open space for a game room, a full bath, and a laundry room. The Great Outdoors: The fenced-in backyard is a true sanctuary, offering a secure space for pets to roam or a blank canvas for your vegetable and flower gardens. A Personal Touch: The current owner is offering a custom "pop of vibrancy" for the new residents—they are happy to paint a wall or two or three in the colors of your choice prior to closing! Owner will also remove swimming pool and plant grass.
