Property Description
This cream puff is a 10!! Enter the property through the charming gates to the covered porch and cross into what is designed to be the office/study/library complete with double closet, hardwood floors, recessed light, ceiling fan and plantation shutters. Step over the original threshold into the large living room with the gleaming hardwood floors, wood burning brick fireplace with mantle, twin ceiling fan, window seat with reading nook and storage in the bay window, crown molding, built in bookcases, recessed lighting and wainscoting. The formal dining room adjoins with original pillared opening, wainscoting, original windows hanging in bay window, French doors to small balcony, upgraded chandelier, hardwood floors, and also original are the two built in china closets!! The breakfast bar with granite counter tops is open to the dining room. This kitchen is the ultimate in efficient storage and features. Stainless steel appliances including French door refrigerator with fruit and vegetable drawer, dishwasher, large sink with goose neck faucet, glass front cabinets, ceiling fan, glass tile back splash and an abundance of drawers. Joining the living room to the kitchen is a coffee bar with granite counters, a built in microwave and more cabinets. Continue through the kitchen to a multi-purpose room. Currently used as a breakfast nook with built in benches, a ceiling fan, wainscoting, and French doors leading to the deck, this could double as a homework, study, or library space. Off this room is a full bath with bead board wainscoting, a chair rail, mirrored medicine chest, and a built in nook. The stairway to the second floor has hardwood treads and leads you to the three bedrooms on this level all with refinished wood floors and great closet space. The hall bath was not skimped on! A beautiful vanity with double sinks, upgraded fixtures, and a deep soaking tub with subway tile surround plus plenty of room to move around completes this level. The third level has the fourth very large bedroom with lots of storage. You are not done yet! The lower level is extraordinarily well planned. A family room with recessed lighting, plenty of built in storage cabinets, and an outside entrance make up one side. The opposite side houses the laundry area and what can be used as a gym or playroom! It's hard to say what is the best feature of this home as there are so many!! In the running is the spectacular rear oasis. Starting with the tiered deck, which leads to the paver patio or extra parking, one continues past the quaint ivy covered garage to the trellised sitting area and then on to another paver patio with a fire pit and a TV snuggled in the ivy! French doors lead to the rear of the garage. Continue into this fenced yard and find a storage/potting/once a playhouse shed. Look back to recognize the well maintained condition of this one of a kind home and OH! Don't miss the outside shower!! Pavers were added to make a convenient parking area at the front of the house along with great driveway parking and rear turn around. This house must be seen to appreciate all the special features. What you will not see during a daytime showing is the well planned lighting which makes the back yard magical in the evening. Dual zone HVAC with upgraded Nest thermostat for efficiency. Elm Street train station nearby--$1 a day to park! Close to shopping, services and public transportation.
