Property Description

Classic character, modern updates, and a walk-to-everything location-this is the one you've been waiting for. Perfectly positioned on a beautiful block, this sun-filled home sits centered on an oversized lot, bringing in natural light from every angle. The inviting front porch with maintenance-free composite stairs sets the tone for what's inside: timeless charm paired with thoughtful upgrades. A stunning foyer welcomes you in, while the original fireplace anchors the living room-perfect for cozy nights, hosting friends, or slow Sunday mornings. The open dining room flows seamlessly from the living space and features built-in cabinetry with granite countertops, creating the ideal setup for entertaining. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen blends historic character with modern functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, period-inspired details, designer hardware, and stone countertops. Just beyond, the bright family room overlooks the professionally landscaped backyard and offers the perfect everyday hangout space. A tucked-away powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, including one with a tandem room ideal for a nursery, office, Peloton space, or dreamy walk-in closet. The hall bath has been stylishly updated with timeless finishes, while the re-imagined primary suite feels like a boutique hotel retreat with dressing room, dual closets, a spa-like en suite bath, and a large sunlit bedroom. The third floor adds incredible flexibility with a bright family room, office, playroom, or creative studio space, plus an additional oversized bedroom. Skylights flood the entire level with natural light. Need even more room? The finished basement offers the perfect setup for a gym, media room, work-from-home office, or rec space, along with abundant storage and a laundry room complete with a convenient pet shower. Outside, the thoughtfully designed backyard is a true urban oasis. Enjoy summer dinners on the paver patio under the pergola, surrounded by lush perennial gardens and flowering trees that create beauty and privacy year after year. A two-car garage provides easy parking plus extra storage for bikes, gear, and gardening tools. Parking pad next to garage is currently fenced in, but could be removed for additional parking. Move-in ready and full of personality, this home delivers the perfect blend of historic charm, functional living space, and modern lifestyle upgrades-all in an unbeatable middle-of-town location.
