Originally built in 1941, this home seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern upgrades and thoughtful additions. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels, a bright living room with a gas fireplace and stacked stone surround, and a spacious open-concept kitchen/dining area featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, and a central island with cooktop and hood. French doors lead to a large deck and custom pergola-perfect for entertaining. The home boasts two generous bedroom suites, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath offering heated floors, double vanity, soaking/jacuzzi/cold plunge tub, and a walk-in closet with custom organizers. The reimagined former primary now serves as a spacious guest suite with an updated full bath and added linen storage. A separate washer and dryer service these two bedrooms. Downstairs, the fully finished walkout basement includes a private nanny/in-law suite with kitchenette, updated full bath, and separate laundry, perfect for Airbnb or long term rental.
