Interior
Step into a welcoming front entryway designed for everyday convenience with space to tuck away shoes, hang coats, or drop bags after a long day. This inviting area sets the tone with warm hardwood floors, high ceilings, and timeless architectural accents that carry throughout the home.
To the left, a charming half bathroom catches the eye with its retro flair. A vintage-style vanity, blue tiled flooring, and one-of-a-kind stained glass window gives this powder room both function and personality.
To the right, an expansive living room illuminated by natural sunlight and track lighting offers the ultimate space for gathering. Whether you’re hosting movie night or curling up with a book, there’s plenty of room for a large sectional and your entertainment set up.
Just beyond the spacious pantry, the living space transitions effortlessly into a cozy dining area—ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions.
Adjacent to the dining area, the kitchen combines classic charm with modern updates. Recessed, pendant, and natural lighting brighten the space. White shaker-style cabinetry contrasts beautifully with granite countertops, offering plenty of prep space. A stainless steel appliance suite includes a refrigerator, gas range, stove hood, dishwasher, and deep sink with garbage disposal, making this kitchen fully functional. The generous island, with seating for four, creates a true hear-of-the-home feel. The kitchen also offers direct access to the private backyard oasis.
Upstairs, retreat to the private quarters, where three bedrooms and a full bath await.
The primary bedroom is generously sized with space for a king bed, vanity space and small work area. Enjoy three large windows that overlook the greenery of the backyard with the added convenience of a ceiling fan.
At the front of the home, the two additional bedrooms each offer their own charm. Large windows bring in beautiful natural light throughout the day, making these rooms ideal for guests, kids, or a bright home office set up.
The full bathroom is a true standout, seamlessly blending vintage charm with thoughtful details. Classic white beadboard adds texture to the walls, while a clawfoot tub/shower combo offers a relaxing place to unwind. Black and white pinwheel mosaic tile floors bring timeless appeal, complemented by a small, elegant crystal chandelier with a vintage-inspired design. Crown moulding, a space-saving corner sink, and built-in shelving complete this beautifully curated space.
The partially finished lower level expands the home’s livable space. Use the finished area as a media lounge, family hangout spot, home gym, or creative studio - while still enjoying ample room for storage and laundry in the unfinished section.
