The primary suite is a sanctuary, boasting a large walk-in closet and a luxurious spa-like bath with heated floors and a floating vanity with built-in storage and open shelving. The third floor offers two additional charming bedrooms, another full bathroom, and incredible potential to expand into large attic spaces. The finished basement is light and bright with lookout windows and also offers flexible space for a work-out room, general storage, or whatever fits your lifestyle.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
