Step inside this charming 1929-built character home that has been beautifully renovated to create a warm and inviting space, while still retaining its original charm. With numerous upgrades and all major projects taken care of, this home is ready for you to move in and enjoy. As you enter the foyer, the stunning engineered hickory hardwood flooring catches your eye and sets the tone for what's to come. The main level boasts an airy and open concept living area, perfect for entertaining family and friends. The dining room addition was completed with all permits and features in-floor heating and large windows that overlook the landscaped backyard, allowing natural light to flood the space. The living room has overhead lighting and a decorative electric fireplace that stays with the home. The gourmet kitchen is a dream come true for any chef, equipped with a gas range that has a broiler drawer, granite countertops with an under-mount sink, full-height cabinets, a French door fridge with interior water and ice, pantry, USB plugs, soft-close drawers, and a cookbook shelf. The lights in the kitchen are layered, making it easy to create a cozy ambiance in the evenings or brighten things up for baking. The breakfast bar can fit at least 3 stools, and there's even a built-in wine rack facing the living room. On the main level, you'll find two bedrooms and a bright 3-piece bathroom. Downstairs, there's another bedroom with a legal egress window, a rec room, and an office or craft space. The basement bathroom was redone in 2020 and boasts a soaker tub, linen closet, butcher block vanity, designer lighting, and heated floors. Outdoors, there are multiple relaxing spaces to enjoy. The wood deck comes with a gas line for a BBQ or heater, and the patio beside the pond under the crabapple tree is a great place to sit and unwind. For those summer nights, the fire pit in the back is perfect for cozying up with friends and family. Other decorative updates include window coverings, all lighting upstairs, all hardware, sod, some fences, and paint. You'll also appreciate that the mechanical parts of the house have been updated too. The roof and eaves, attic insulation, and some windows were upgraded in 2013, and the furnace is mid-efficiency from 2009. The hot water tank is from 2011, and the remainder of the windows (except the two decorative ones beside the fireplace) were also upgraded. They also trenched power to the garage, upgraded the electrical panel in 2015, added additional venting to the roof, replaced some of the main plumbing stack with modern piping, and replaced all of the appliances. And let's not forget the cherry on top - a secret room behind the bookshelf in the basement! Perfect for a kids' hideout, seasonal storage, or even a cool wine cellar. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this beautiful character home your own.
