Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully updated for modern living, this distinguished home blends timeless craftsmanship with sophis­ticated contemporary finishes. Offering nearly 2,000 square feet, the home features 4 spacious bedrooms, including a top-floor primary suite and two beautifully renovated bathrooms.

A formal dining room surrounded by windows offers an inviting setting for entertaining, while the updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a charm­ing breakfast nook. Outside, English-inspired gardens, lush landscaping, and a peace­ful deck create a serene retreat for dining, entertaining, or unwinding. Thoughtful updates include a comprehensive electrical upgrade with removal of knob-and-tube wiring and a new code-compliant system. An attached garage with interior access adds convenience, while two lower-level spaces offer flexibility for a gym, wine cellar, studio, workshop, office, or creative retreat.
