4. Abundant versatility thanks to 4 bedrooms, 2.75 baths, and a huge lower level.
On the main level you’ll find the owner’s suite (more on this in a moment!), a 2nd bedroom, and a bath. The lower level offers even more incredible flexibility—here you’ll find 2 bedrooms, a bath, a bonus room, laundry amenities, and a 2nd full kitchen. Like the rest of the home, the lower level has been thoughtfully updated. New LVP flooring was installed on the lower level (2019), for starters. A new full kitchen addition (with quartz counters and new full-sized appliances!) was added in 2017, and the same year also saw a full laundry room remodel with new cabinetry, appliances, drop-in sink, and quartz countertops. Finally, the lower level family room had antique French doors with crystal doorknobs added in 2020.
5. Fabulous owner’s suite offers resort-inspired retreat.
On the main level, the sumptuous owner’s suite offers a serene setting with private access to the deck, a sitting area, and even new carpet in 2022 (you’ll also find new carpet in the second bedroom and den/office). And once you see the ensuite bath that sparkles with on-trend style and the walk-in closet complete with built-ins that make organizing easy, it’ll be no surprise that both were completely remodeled in 2021!
6. Outdoor oasis offers a whole other world of wonder.
From the front yard to the back, this property has been expertly cultivated over the years to offer an outdoor getaway that’s absolutely dreamy. From 2015 to 2021, this property’s landscaping underwent a makeover, with both design and implementation completed by a master gardener. The emphasis was on including fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, herbs, and other edible garden plantings, and new owners can enjoy fresh treats thanks to this foresight! In 2017, the basic garden shed was transformed into a “she-shed” and completely refreshed with vintage windows, French doors, interior laminate flooring, cottage garden plantings, and picket fencing. In 2020, a greenhouse was constructed entirely from vintage windows from a custom design.
