The generous first-level bedroom with a walk-in closet is perfect for guests, and the adorable office space off the living room makes work or study at home a breeze. The convenient first-floor bath was lovingly updated in 2020 with refinishing of the original fixtures, new subfloor and vintage-look tile and completes this level. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find three great bedrooms, an updated bath and a bonus hangout space! The primary bedroom is serene and roomy and can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and showcases a large, organized closet.

The big, open sundrenched library (can be a second floor family room, play area, or additional work from home space) completes this level. Still need more space? Head down to the high and dry lower level that spans the footprint of the home and has even more to offer! The family room is great for game or movie nights and the lounge (created in 2021) showcases reclaimed and refinished paneling from another beautiful local home and a handy bar. An oversized powder room; a bright and clean laundry room with double farmhouse utility sink; a custom walk-in cellar; and another bonus room that could be a bedroom, workout room, or office complete this level!
