Walk in and you'll find a home that's been loved and continually improved, with nearly 3,000 square feet across three levels and five bedrooms plus a dedicated office. The 2023 kitchen remodel sits at the center of it all - a top-to-bottom renovation built for real cooking and entertaining, with easy access straight out to the deck, gravel grilling area and the yard beyond.
The main level flows from a dining room anchored by custom built-ins added in 2019, with a sunroom that grows plants beautifully and has served as a lovely office for years. The home runs on dual HVAC zones, so comfort is consistent from floor to floor.
Upstairs you'll find generous bedrooms and - a genuine luxury in a house this size - laundry right where you need it, added on the top floor with machines from 2018, plus a second laundry area in the basement with 2022 machines. No hauling baskets up and down three flights. The attic isn't finished, but it holds its temperature nicely and offers a ton of storage.
Outside, the fenced yard (2018) puts on a show from early spring through summer - waves of peonies, gladiolus, tulips, even edible saffron, and a front sidewalk lined with lilies. A driveway space comes with a 2024 EV charger, and 2024 owned solar panels keep the home efficient. Street parking is plentiful too.
