This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with partial stone façade and a charming covered front porch with a standing seam metal roof is just the beginning of what this exceptional property offers. Situated on an expansive, private lot, this home combines timeless elegance with functionality, making it an outstanding opportunity in an incredible location. Step into the inviting foyer featuring random-width hardwood flooring and elegant wainscoting that continues up the gracious staircase and into the second-floor hallway. Just off the foyer, a well-appointed powder room and a versatile den or home office with custom built-ins offer the perfect space for remote work or a playroom. The formal living room is generously sized and features hardwood flooring, crown molding, a gas fireplace flanked by two windows, and a large picture window that floods the room with natural light while providing a stunning view of the rear grounds. The space flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, which also boasts hardwood flooring, custom wainscoting, and French doors that lead to an extraordinary family room. This spectacular space showcases an entire rear wall of oversized windows with transoms, a second gas fireplace, and French doors that open to a covered patio—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with random-width hardwood flooring, abundant custom, inset style cabinetry and quartzite and wood countertop space, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, and a large island with seating for five and built-in microwave.

Upstairs, the second-floor features three spacious bedrooms and an updated hall bath with marble flooring and tiled tub surround. One of the front bedrooms includes built-in bookshelves and a full staircase to a large, floored attic—ideal for storage. The rear bedroom offers a double closet and a tranquil view of the backyard.
