Property Description
Step into timeless character and modern comfort in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1.5-
bath two-story brick home in a lovely neighborhood setting. Showcasing classic old-world
architecture, a distinctive sloped tile roof, and an impressive original arched wood entry
door, this home blends historic charm with today's most sought-after updates.
A welcoming foyer features ceramic tile flooring and a walk-in coat room with a window,
creating a warm first impression. The spacious living room combines classic charm and
modern style with new soft creamy beige wall-to-wall carpeting, an updated fireplace
featuring fresh paint and contemporary tile, and beautifully restored antique French doors
that open to a huge, covered side patio—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The formal
dining room features new luxury vinyl plank flooring and flows seamlessly into the stunningly
renovated kitchen.
Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen boasts refreshed cabinetry
with designer paint and brushed gold hardware, quartz countertops, a seafoam green and
cream tile backsplash, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a stainless
workstation sink beneath a picture window overlooking the backyard. A convenient
mudroom and updated half bath complete the main level.
At the heart of the home, the refinished original staircase serves as a striking architectural
centerpiece, complete with charming built-in blanket drawers at the first upper landing.
Upstairs, you'll find beautifully refinished hardwood flooring throughout, a spacious primary
bedroom with a cozy reading nook, a generous second bedroom, and a third bedroom
featuring a walk-in closet with a window. The full bathroom has been completely renovated
with new plumbing, luxury finishes, a porcelain-over-steel tub with ceramic tile surround,
modern vanity, brushed gold fixtures, and an LED-lit shower niche.
The home also offers a generous 26' x 28' unfinished basement, providing abundant storage
space and outstanding potential for future expansion. Whether you envision a family room,
home gym, workshop, recreation area, or additional living space, the possibilities are
endless.
Outside, you'll find a detached one-car garage, a freshly painted covered patio with
arched entries, and extensive landscaping improvements, including the removal of
overgrown trees and shrubs, new flower beds, a stone pathway surrounding the home, and
a reseeded yard.
Major mechanical improvements provide peace of mind, including a brand-new furnace,
newly added central air conditioning, upgraded electrical service with a new panel, new
double-pane vinyl windows, targeted repair and restoration of original tile roof, updated
plumbing with PEX water lines, and second-floor laundry hookups.
This exceptional home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship and character
of a bygone era while benefiting from extensive modern renovations throughout. Move right
in and enjoy the perfect blend of historic elegance, modern convenience, and future
potential.
