This 4-bdrm, 2.5-bth home features gorgeous hardwood floors, 10' ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and custom wainscoting. The timeless kitchen has cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a beautiful built-in china cupboard. The master suite boasts a seating area, walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. An English basement and spacious attic provide additional storage or possible added living space. A mudroom with ample storage provides access to the flagstone patio and private landscaped yard with a private garden and detached 4-car garage. Restoration work includes fully updated electric and plumbing, 2-zone HVAC, a security system and central vacuum. The roof on both the house and garage are new (within the past 4 years), as are the 2 HVAC units and hot water heater, the front steps and the gas range.
