The sunny living room is anchored by a broad picture window, a period fireplace, built-in bookshelves and box cove ceilings—creating a space that feels both cozy yet unique. From the living room the dining area connects seamlessly into a large, bright kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Newly added quartz countertops and subway tile along with freshly painted cabinetry and new marmoleum floors create a light and uplifting atmosphere. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with a brand-new KitchenAid electric cooktop and oven, as well as a Bosch dishwasher – blending modern functionality with the home’s inviting aesthetic. Continue to the back of the home to find a full-size laundry room and direct access to the backyard. The outdoor space is truly special—spacious and fully fenced, it has a park-like feel with a gently rising lawn and mature landscaping. Imagine entertaining friends and family - perfect for outdoor dining, weekend gatherings, and everyday play. Lemon trees, a Japanese maple, rosemary, and vibrant plantings create a lush, inviting backdrop. A paver pathway leading to a detached, fully finished detached bonus structure. Whether used as a home office, gym, or creative retreat, this separate space measures approximately 267 sq ft and adds incredible flexibility.  Back inside, a few steps down from the kitchen reveals a versatile flex space—perfect for a media room or guest space. Up a short staircase, the bedroom feels like a peaceful retreat. Hardwood floors continue, complemented by elegant wainscoting, another box cove ceiling, and a generously sized walk-in closet. Two windows bring in abundant natural light, enhancing the room’s airy, serene feel—an ideal space to unwind at the end of the day. The stylish bathroom features a classic soaking tub, bright white tile, and a separate room for the commode. Do not miss the attached garage!
