Picture-perfect curb appeal ensures this beauty is a delight to arrive home to time and time again, and a charming path leads up to the welcoming wrap-around porch. The front door swings open to reveal the light-filled entryway, an impressive scene that hints at the rest of this home’s dialed-in aesthetic. The formal parlor offers tasteful elegance with its crisp trimwork and stately fireplace, and gleaming wood floors flow into the spacious family room.

The updated formal dining room is an absolute dream for those who love to entertain, and the same is true of the adjacent kitchen—on-trend details like the subway tile backsplash and designer period lighting rest alongside sleek appliances and generous cabinetry.

The main level also includes a flexible bedroom/den and a bath featuring gorgeous wood elements and vintage-inspired details, and upstairs you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 incredible custom baths. Each bedroom offers its own unique amenities, from built-in closets to ceiling fans that add convenience to daily life.

Even more versatile space can be found in the 400-square-foot studio with vaulted ceilings, which you can use as a fitness center or transform into an office, hobby space, art studio, music studio, etc. You’ll find plenty of room to let your imagination get to work with this property’s outdoor amenities as well—the private, park-like setting provides you with your very own urban oasis. Enjoy al fresco dining out on the patio, tend to the garden and grow your own fresh fruits and veggies, and sunbathe in the wonderful peace and quiet that your backyard retreat provides!
