First time offered in over 32 years.. and we think it's absolute perfection. Welcome to the best of both worlds... small town charm in front, peaceful country views in back. Situated on an oversized 1/2 + acre corner lot, this impeccably maintained all brick home is one you'll fall in love with the moment you arrive. A peaceful covered front porch beneath mature shade trees invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Step inside to discover stunning original woodwork, beautiful hardwood floors, pocket doors, oversized trim, and timeless craftsmanship that's becoming increasingly rare. Sunlight pours into the spacious living room before flowing into the charming parlor and formal dining room, creating warm and inviting spaces perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The true centerpiece of the home is the beautifully renovated kitchen. Thoughtfully designed with warm custom cabinetry, soft close drawers, abundant stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, storage, and room for gathering. Just beyond is an oversized main floor laundry room complete with additional cabinetry and storage, along with a spacious full bath featuring a relaxing soaking tub. Upstairs you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a private corner primary suite with a walk in closet, plus a second full bathroom. The full basement provides excellent storage and endless possibilities for hobbies, crafts, or a workshop. Outside is just as impressive. Gorgeous perennial gardens bloom throughout the seasons, while the expansive yard offers room to relax, garden, or simply enjoy the peaceful countryside views. The impressive barn/garage comfortably accommodates more than 2 full sized vehicles and offers pull down attic storage, making it ideal for vehicles, toys, or projects. Homes like this rarely become available. Overflowing with character, impeccably maintained, and perfectly blending historic charm with thoughtful modern updates, this is truly a place you'll be proud to call home.
