Offering a wonderful sense of quality, cohesion, and turnkey ease, this home is ready to be enjoyed from day one.The light-filled main level is defined by a well-considered floor plan that supports both daily living and formal entertaining.

A flexible first-floor room provides exceptional versatility, functioning seamlessly as a home office, guest suite, playroom, or optional fourth bedroom.The kitchen is both elegant and efficient, appointed with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and custom-style cabinetry that offers ample storage without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Every finish has been selected to complement the home's historic character while meeting the expectations of modern living.

Two additional bedrooms and a thoughtfully designed full bath are located down the hall. A conveniently placed laundry area with built-in storage enhances functionality, while a versatile bonus space offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom, office, or secondary living area.
