Interior Details

1st Floor

â—Ź Upon entering through the front door, the beautiful staircase and whimsical wallpaper make an immediate impression, while a large coat closet offers convenient storage just to the right. Continue into the expansive living room, where built-in cherry bookcases, a gas fireplace, recessed lighting, and an abundance of windows create a warm and inviting space.

â—Ź Adjacent to the living room, the spacious family room opens into the well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen offers an abundance of cherry cabinets, many with glass fronts, undercabinet lighting, and granite countertops. Stainless steel appliances include a KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water on the door, gas cooktop with a convection oven, plus a Bosch microwave and dishwasher with hidden controls. A double sink with a Grohe retractable faucet and garbage disposal sit beneath the picture window.

â—Ź From the dining area, French doors open out onto a small deck that leads to the fenced-in yard surrounded by lush greenery.

â—Ź Just off the main hallway, there is a conveniently located half bathroom tucked underneath the staircase.


2nd Floor

â—Ź Head upstairs to the second floor, where a central hallway leads to three comfortable bedrooms, including the primary suite, as well as a full bathroom. At one end of the hallway, the bright and thoughtfully appointed bathroom features a pedestal sink, combination tub/shower with fiberglass surround, complemented by a charming box window overlooking Chapel Street.

â—Ź Both bedrooms offer recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and generous closet space.

â—Ź Along the hallway, a convenient linen closet provides additional storage and a well-hidden laundry chute saves lots of trips to the basement.

â—Ź At the end of the hallway, the primary bedroom offers a spacious private retreat with recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and two separate closets. The en-suite bath is especially well appointed, featuring a large jetted soaking tub, an oversized vanity with generous countertop space, and a Toto Washlet toilet. A large walk-in shower and heated towel warmer add a touch of everyday luxury, while additional built-in storage keeps the space both functional and organized.


3rd Floor

â—Ź On the third floor, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a spacious, light-filled office. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the office features custom built-in bookshelves and windows along two walls. 

â—Ź Both third-floor bedrooms are bright and inviting, each featuring 3 skylights that fill the space with natural light. One bedroom offers built-in bookshelves and a wall-mounted AC, while the other bedroom has its own bath, complete with a pedestal sink, dual flush Toto toilet, and a fiberglass shower/tub combination.


Lower Level

● Back on the main level, a staircase accented by 3 skylights and 2 windows brings you from the first floor down to the semi-finished lower level. The lower level provides valuable additional living and storage space, including a dedicated storage room, a separate laundry room, and a “playroom” for exercise or hobbies.

â—Ź A separate utility room houses the boiler, water heater, electrical panel, and central vacuum system, along with additional storage space. The basement is heated for year-round comfort and there is also direct access to an outdoor patio.
