12 years of thoughtful design & meticulous attention to detail have transformed this extraordinary property into a true private enclave in the heart of town. Centered on a beautifully landscaped 1.18-acre lot, this re-imagined home offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion & unbeatable convenience - just minutes to everything. More than $240,000 in upgrades/improvements have been invested into this home - not including the costs of landscaping, trees, gardens, & water features - these grounds feel like a private botanical retreat. Surrounded by towering oaks, arborvitaes, pines & spruces, this property feels wonderfully tucked away. A Ginkgo-lined driveway leads towards the Japanese maple & hosta garden tucked under a canopy of oaks, beneath which a dramatic boulder waterfall cascades down a creek into & tranquil pond. The expansive, gently sloping rear yard offers endless possibilities - the perfect setting for a possible future sun-shelf in-ground pool just off the oversized rear deck. The welcoming front porch stretches an impressive 12’ x 28’, and the new red quarry tile porch floor is just stunning! Off the kitchen, the rear 25’ x 11’ deck overlooks the lush, private backyard, & trex decking & white PVC railings provide stylish, low-maintenance living. The oversized tandem 2-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, tools & garden equipment, while the insulated concrete walk-out “bunker” beneath the front porch provides more bonus storage or gym space. The finished basement rec room comes complete with large windows, a wall of closets & a hidden vintage bank-style safe. This home was truly designed for entertaining - spacious rooms, seamless flow & a rear parking pad can accommodate at least 5 cars. Inside, timeless craftsmanship blends beautifully with modern updates. Guests are welcomed by a ceramic tile foyer with plaster cove ceiling, before stepping onto gorgeous oak floors that flow into the expansive living room. Oversized front windows & a rear bay window flood this space with tons of natural light, while stunning plaster work, an ornate tray ceiling, medallions & original neon cove lighting preserve the home’s distinctive mid-century charm. A newly installed direct-vent gas fireplace adds warmth & ambiance. The adjoining dining room continues the elegance with arched doorways, sophisticated lighting & architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship rarely found today. The kitchen has been completely re-imagined with custom cabinetry, soft-close drawers, pull-out storage - pairing beautifully with modern appliances, designer tile work, quartz countertops & abundant LED lighting. The showstopping blue quartz waterfall center island with downdraft gas cook top is the dramatic focal point. The bathroom & closet renovation transformed outdated spaces into two luxurious modern baths & a spacious walk-in primary suite closet. With stylish tile work, illuminated mirrors, blue tooth speaker exhaust fans & designer finishes, these spaces offer a spa-like experience. The east private primary suite is a true retreat, thoughtfully separated from the other west wing bedrooms. Two bedrooms currently function as home offices, while the 4th bedroom is currently a dedicated home theater, complete with a platform for stadium seating & an 82” wall-mounted television that stays with the home. And the upgrades continue: top-of-the-line tilt-in windows, rebuilt deck, new vertical siding, updated boiler & chimney liner, backup furnace & A/C, 2 new patios, new shingled roof, new fireplace hearth & so much more. Every improvement has been carefully considered to enhance comfort, efficiency, style & livability. This is more than just a home - it’s a one-of-a-kind property designed for gathering, relaxing, entertaining & making memories. A truly special opportunity for the next owners to simply move in & enjoy everything that has already been lovingly created. Passed Occupancy Inspection. Owner/Agent.
