Premium mechanical and smart upgrades abound, including newer kitchen appliances and flooring, updated wiring, an exterior refresh in 2016, zoned heating and cooling, Pella integrated diffusing and blackout blinds in the front bedrooms, and Google smart lighting throughout.

The hall and bath feature curved arches, built-ins, vintage tile. Space and versatility just define this home: the 2019-finished basement is a welcoming space to do laundry (new machines in 2023) and more. With a large flex space for kids' rec room or family room, heated floors, a custom wet bar, beautiful 3/4 bath, fifth bedroom with sunny egress, the lower level is great au pair's quarters or private guest suite.

Set on a rare lot-and-a-half, the property offers a private, fully fenced backyard ideal for lawn games and summer hosting, alongside a long concrete driveway (and ample room to add a new garage--endless options).
