Location doesn't get much better than this!

So many updates - cedar siding, baths, kitchen, rear family room and master suite addition, electric, plumbing, windows and new/refinished hardwood floors. Vestibule entry leads to the welcoming foyer with impressive two-story staircase with spindled banister and robust newel posts. The newly painted first floor features 9'+ ceilings, natural woodwork and substantial moldings. The open floor plan offers a bright living room with wood-burning fireplace and French doors to the adjacent sunroom with panoramic views of the tree-lined street. Den/4th bedroom with beautifully updated bathroom featuring walk-in shower with river rock flooring and inlaid glass mosaics. The recently renovated kitchen is in the center of the home and opens to the living, dining and family rooms and features Craftsman maple cabinets with crown finish, serving peninsulas/breakfast bars on each end, gorgeous stone countertops and high end stainless steel appliances. The family room features the exterior door to a covered rear entry porch and amazing views of the lush yard full of flowering perennials. Three second floor bedrooms including an expansive, peaceful master bedroom suite with vaulted celling, spacious walk-in closet, washer and dryer (a second washer and dryer is in the basement) and master bathroom with whirlpool tub, separate walk-in shower and double vanity.
