As you approach the property, the cottage-like charm is amplified by meticulously landscaped gardens, vibrant flower beds bursting with color, and graceful climbing vines that weave their way along the facade, creating an inviting atmosphere of privacy and serenity. Walk beneath the picturesque arbor and step into this enchanting storybook home, where every corner reveals a testament to pride in ownership.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a cozy and functional kitchen that perfectly marries history with modernity. Admire the stunning leaded glass cabinet doors that showcase your favorite dishware, complemented by crisp white and elegant marble countertop and updated appliances that cater to both culinary enthusiasts and casual cooks alike. The formal dining room, with its exquisite corner cabinets, offers an ideal setting for elegant dinners and family gatherings, bathed in natural light from the ample windows that enhance the inviting ambiance.
The living room radiates brightness and openness, featuring original hardwood floors that gleam with history, alongside charming built-ins that add character. Imagine cozy evenings beside the graceful gas fireplace, gathering with loved ones in this welcoming space. The deck, which extends from the living room, serves as a peaceful oasis to savor your morning coffee while immersing yourself in the soothing sounds of nature.
Convenience fills the main floor, where you'll find a beautifully appointed full bathroom adorned with a stunning stained glass window. A spacious bedroom with an expansive closet featuring custom built-ins offers comfort and tranquility. Completing the main floor is a delightful den, perfectly suited as an office or library, which opens to a captivating three-season sunroom—the true jewel of this home.
