The photos don't do justice to how incredible this property is. The classic exterior features a sophisticated blend of black, white, and stone, giving it timeless curb appeal. Upon entering, you'll find the bright and airy kitchen immediately to your right, bathed in natural light from a bank of windows adorned with elegant plantation shutters. This galley-style kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a sleek slide-in gas range with a hood vent, subway tile backsplash, and recently installed bamboo flooring. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy breakfast room with newer tile flooring, surrounded by windows, where you can enjoy your morning coffee while waving to your neighbors. The dining room boasts beautifully refinished hardwood floors and comfortably accommodates a table for 6-8 guests. Just steps below, the sunken living room awaits, complete with hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and stunning French doors with sidelights and transoms. On the opposite side of the entryway, six steps lead up to the primary suite, a spacious retreat measuring 29x15 ft. It features hardwood floors, ample storage with wardrobes and two closets, and a separate vanity area for your morning routine. The bright primary bath includes a tiled shower for your comfort. A few more steps lead to the other two well-sized bedrooms, both with hardwood floors and plenty of closet space. A charming hall bath with a mix of modern and vintage touches completes this level. Below the primary suite, you'll find an expansive room (26x13 ft) perfect for gatherings, featuring a wet bar, full bathroom, wood-burning fireplace, and recently installed Pergo flooring. The laundry area is conveniently tucked behind the bar, with outside access for wood delivery.

With space for dining, TV watching, grilling, and relaxing in the hot tub, this outdoor oasis is perfect for any occasion. The inground pool, approximately 35x15 ft, is surrounded by a professionally installed paver patio and beautifully landscaped tiered gardens. The large grassy area at the back of this almost half-acre property is perfect for play or relaxation. A convenient half bath/kitchenette near the patio ensures easy access for guests during outdoor activities. Stairs from the patio lead to the upper garage flexible living space, a versatile space remodeled in 2016.

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.
