Known in the neighborhood as "The Sunset House", this beautifully updated five-bedroom, four-bath home is tucked into a quiet, mature neighborhood and offers a rare combination of space, flexibility and upgrades. Full of character, creativity, and unexpected spaces, this is anything but a cookie-cutter home. The heart of the home is the open concept living room with a 14' vaulted ceiling, abundant windows with backyard views & access to the large maintenance free deck. This opens into the gorgeous gourmet chef's kitchen and formal dining room with an electric fireplace, an inviting space designed for everything from everyday family meals to entertaining. The main level offers plenty of space to gather and unwind, including a sun-filled playroom, and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find a large dedicated office and three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with its own private bath. What truly sets this home apart is the finished walkout lower-level mother-in-law suite. With its own separate entrance, fully equipped second kitchen, living space with electric fireplace, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and workshop, it offers exceptional privacy and independence while still being connected to the main home. It's an incredible setup for a live-in parent, multigenerational living, nanny, au pair, or long-term guests. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard filled with extensive, established gardens currently growing apples trees, giant sunflowers and more than 20 varieties of vegetables and herbs - a dream for gardeners, home cooks, or anyone who loves fresh-from-the-garden produce. Enjoy the two-car garage plus workshop, new deck (2025), playhouse (2025), covered brick lower-level patio, and beautiful views of Buck Hill right from the deck. Additional updates include a new fence (2022), Simply Safe security system (2022), lower-level kitchen with all-new appliances and laundry machines (2022) and water heater (2025). And as an added bonus, new siding has already been approved for 2026! This is truly a special home offering multigenerational living, an incredible chef's kitchen, abundant outdoor space, and a lifestyle that's hard to find.
