Description

Positioned on a picturesque 1-acre lot directly across from a scenic horse farm, this beautifully maintained property offers the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and outdoor living. A freshly re-asphalted (2019) and sealed driveway leads to a welcoming front entrance, highlighted by a brick paver walkway, fresh landscaping, covered stoop, and beautiful wood door. Inside, a traditional floor plan features oak hardwood floors and is fresh paint throughout. The spacious front room, filled with natural light from a large bay window, offers flexibility as a living or dining space while capturing peaceful countryside views. The expanded custom kitchen (2003), refreshed with repainted cabinetry in 2023, serves as the heart of the home with a large center island, granite countertops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and custom built-ins. Just beyond, a comfortable family room features chair rail detail, built-in shelving, and a tiled wood-burning fireplace with a venting system. Both spaces offer direct access to the show-stopping outdoor living area, an approximately $100,000 investment completed in 2018, featuring a covered, low-maintenance deck with fireplace, pergola, white vinyl railings, and black aluminum spindles, all overlooking the in-ground 8’ pool with brand-new pump, paver surround, and 8’ white vinyl privacy fence. This area also has underground electric that is hot-tub ready. Spend your days splashing in the pool, and your evenings relaxing by the fire! Another standout feature of the home is the rare and often sought after main-level in-law/au pair suite addition, offering its own private entrance, bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchen/living area, ideal for extended family or flexible living arrangements. Upstairs, the original three-bedroom layout is complemented by an additional expansion above the family room, creating a versatile office or craft room and a fourth bedroom with built-in shelving. The full bathroom was tastefully renovated in 2010 with custom tile work, and the main bedroom features a custom feature wall. The finished lower level adds even more living and entertaining space, complete with a wet bar featuring granite counters, kegerator, and corner wine rack, along with wainscoting, crown molding, and built in cabinetry for an elevated feel. A true entertainer's dream! A walk-out to the driveway, updated powder room, laundry area, and unfinished storage/workshop space with built-in workbench provide both convenience and practicality. Additional highlights include a high-velocity Unico HVAC system installed in 2016 with central air and heat (baseboard heaters for backup or can be removed), generator hookups, approximately 10 year old roof, vinyl replacement windows, and recently cleaned fireplace and carpets. Completing the property is a detached two-car garage (2011) with attic storage and rear fenced in garden area. A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space, versatility, and thoughtful upgrades in a truly picturesque setting.
