Interior

First level:

• A peaceful, secluded, landscaped brick courtyard dotted with perennials welcomes you to the entrance of this lovely home. Once inside, there is a sweeping view of the airy, open plan living, dining and kitchen space that comprises the entire first floor.

• There is a coat closet and small vestibule just inside the front door and you’re immediately drawn to the fenced in private patio that transitions smoothly from the kitchen area, making outdoor entertaining effortless as you pass through the sliding glass doors. The immaculate oak hardwood floors throughout are a classic touch that brings warmth to the space.

• A white quartz-topped breakfast bar with a waterfall edge and plentiful storage, is to the left of the patio entrance, and marks the beginning of the kitchen area (updated in 2019). The stainless-steel LG appliances include a 5-burner gas range, an exterior-venting microwave, a French Door refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, and a dishwasher. There is an oversized stainless-steel sink with a pull-down faucet. A sliding window above the sink lets in plenty of light and the backsplash is an interesting textured white subway tile.

Second Level:

• An oak staircase leads to the second floor and at the top of the stairs is a full bath with a combination tub and shower with both a rain head and handheld shower. The shower area and floor feature large, polished marble tiles and there is a decorative accent tile on the shower walls. There is a handy niche in the shower for toiletries. A white shaker style vanity topped with a travertine counter and a vessel sink, and a double door linen closet offer ample storage.

• Next to the bathroom is an oversized bedroom with a generous closet and two Anderson sliding windows. This bedroom is large enough (16’7” x 10’5”) to be divided into two smaller bedrooms, and the large hallway closet could be used for one of the bedrooms. 

Third Level:

• Enter the private third floor via an oak staircase where you’ll find an amazing primary suite with a soaring cathedral ceiling. There is a huge walk-in closet with a window, and a second storage area under the stairs to the loft. 

• The large ensuite bathroom features a vanity with double sinks, plenty of cabinet storage, and a dramatic walk-in shower with two heads, including a rain shower. It is bathed in light from a transparent window that can be made private with a sliding frosted glass cover. There is another sliding window that provide abundant natural light for the entire bathroom.

Fourth Level:

• A staircase with cable railings leads to the airy loft which makes for an ideal home office. There is also a nook for yoga, reading, or additional storage. There are two skylights providing tons of natural light. 

Lower Level and Utilities:

• A staircase from the kitchen area leads to the finished lower level, ideal for a den, playroom, or workspace. The floating floors are bamboo and there is a full-sized window providing natural light. Additional storage is available under the stairs.

• The handy half bath has a vanity with a sink.

• Laundry: LG stacked front-loading washing machine and electric dryer are included in the sale. 

• Heating:  Older gas fired Utica boiler provides hot water heat through baseboards and there are 3 zones, each controlled by a Nest thermostat. All bathrooms and the lower level are heated by electric baseboards. The sellers used the mini-splits for heat over the winter rather than the boiler.
