About this home
Simply Exceptional!

Completely renovated in 2022, this show-stopper artfully blends contemporary living with exquisite architectural character including three exposed brick gas fireplaces, an elegantly sweeping staircase and coffered ceilings. Premium finishes and careful attention to detail elevate every room, from the well-appointed kitchen with its open floor plan, to the stunning tile work and fixtures. Enjoy a spa-inspired primary suite with a soaking tub, cozy fireplace, step-in shower, and a boutique-worthy walk in closet. Bonus lower level family room. Private, fenced backyard with an expansive patio. 2 deeded spaces provide valuable off-street parking. Pet friendly. The combination of prime location, outdoor space and dedicated parking makes this home a rare find in today's market.
