Interior
The front door opens into a gracious mudroom that’s surrounded by windows and offers the perfect spot to shed shoes, keys and mail.
A delightful 4-season sunroom overlooking the front yard is equally refreshing. Surrounded by windows and lined with beadboard walls, this space is ideally sized to serve as a home office, reading nook, or play area with site lines from multiple spots throughout the first floor.
An expansive living room has two windows and a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround, brass enclosure, terracotta tiled hearth, and a wooden mantle.
Entertain with grace and an ease of movement. The dining room is ideally situated between the living room and kitchen, and has a set of French glass doors (new in 2012) that open right onto the back deck.
Completely renovated in 2012, a crisp and modern kitchen features stunning marble counters on one side, butcher block counters on the other, and plentiful white shaker-style cabinets featuring brushed nickel hardware.
Appliances are all by Bosch (new in 2012) and include a double door refrigerator, a dishwasher, a 5-burner gas range, and a matching microwave. The deep sink has a pull-down faucet with sprayer.
To the rear of the kitchen is a delightful half bath (new in 2012) with hardwood floors, a pedestal sink, decorative mirror and bronze vanity light.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor. Two offer good sized closets and plentiful windows. The third is perfectly proportioned to use as a guest room, office or nursery, and includes a full wall of custom built-in bookcase, as well as the staircase leading to the walk-up attic.
The main bathroom (renovated in 2010) features a crisp white and navy tile design. It is outfitted with a pedestal sink with mirrored medicine cabinet, frosted glass sconces, navy and white basketweave tiled floor, a combination tub/shower with white subway tiled surround, and tasteful navy mosaic style accent tiles.
The well-maintained basement offers the perfect blend of function and flexibility. A dedicated laundry room includes an LG TrueSteam Sensor Dryer and Direct Drive Washer (new in 2012 and included with the sale). A tidy utility room offers ample storage space. And a finished room with amazing built-in storage cabinets and closets will happily serve as a bonus exercise or play space.
