These period features are seamlessly complemented by thoughtful modern updates, including a stunning two-tone gourmet kitchen with quartzite counters, a marble chevron backsplash, designer copper farmhouse sink, and a Viking range. The mudroom and sunroom additions are just as impressive, featuring Victorian-era Brighton-patterned ceramic flooring, decorative beveled glass windows, and a vaulted beamed ceiling that radiates sophistication.The second floor hosts three of the home's five bedrooms, alongside a cozy library/loft perfect for quiet study or showcasing your literary treasures. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, with exquisite parquetry flooring, a spa-like ensuite bath boasting a Kallista marble vanity, clawfoot tub, tiled multi-head shower, and a walk-in closet designed with care. The third floor, with its two additional bedrooms, loft, and full bathroom, is ideal for teens or guests. Outside, the magic continues on a sprawling double lot with sparkling in-ground pool, outdoor grill and charming coach home ready to host unforgettable gatherings where lifelong memories will be made. The detached three-car garage features a finished second-floor bonus room-perfect as a home office, gym, or creative space.
