First Level

The entrance of the home features a Craftsman-style panelled wood front door with inset bluestone landing, a deep coat closet and connects to the main living space of the home.

 

The sunny living room overlooks the front yard of the home and features a wood-burning fireplace with natural fieldstone surround and hand-hewn mantel as well as a rustic wood ceiling fan. This central living space flows to a secondary seating area currently used as a home office with open views of the backyard through a wall of double-hung windows and access to the back deck through a glass door.

 

The living room blends into the dining area of the home with sliding glass doors to the deck and backyard. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a counter/buffet area accented by custom glass pendant lights.

 

The kitchen features custom Modern Cabinetry white wooden cabinetry with storage-maximizing upgrades, updated stainless steel handles, rustic-finish granite counters, white subway tile backsplash, large Shaws porcelain farmhouse-style sink with Rohl nickel gooseneck faucet with sprayer hose head, recessed lighting, and skylight.

The kitchen features a pantry/mudroom/laundry area with finishes matching those in the kitchen which can be accessed from the outside of the house as well as from the kitchen and features a Perlick wine refrigerator, stackable dark grey Electrolux washer and dryer, and extensive storage cabinetry and additional counterspace. A utility closet in this area separates the mechanical systems of the home from the main living space while allowing easy access.

 

The master bedroom suite features two closets with storage-maximizing upgrades and a ceiling fan. The closets in the master bedroom are located to allow this bedroom to be divided into two separate bedrooms as had been the case before the renovation of the home by the current owner. The bathroom features white subway tilework with colorful glass accent tiles, a white porcelain pedestal sink with nickel and white ceramic fixtures, an oversized white tubshower, and a skylight. A deep linen closet is conveniently located in the hallway outside the master bedroom and bathroom.

Exterior

The exterior of the property is as polished as the interior spaces. The front yard features a grassy lawn as well as pea-gravel circular driveway with mature landscaping accents. A wooden privacy fence connected to the house separates the front and back yards. Additionally, the backyard can be accessed directly from inside the house through three different glass doors, two of which lead to a Trex-style deck large enough for a table and chairs and leading to a bluestone patio serving as a transitional space between the deck and the grassy areas of the backyard. The highlight of the backyard is the streamside setting running along the length of the backyard which can be enjoyed while perched above it on the lush lawn. The backyard is fenced for dogs and also features a large storage shed. Perennials, bushes, and specimen trees all of which have been planted to maximize beauty while integrating the backyard with its natural surroundings.

 

The home is sided with cedar shingle siding and features an asphalt roof.
