Situated on an extra-wide lot, this beautifully maintained home combines timeless character, generous living spaces, and over a decade of thoughtful improvements designed for today's lifestyle. The welcoming front 21x 8' porch, thoughtfully designed and added by the current owners, sets the tone for this special home.

The spacious primary suite features walk-in closets and a stone-clad bath with an oversized glass-enclosed shower and built-in bench. Exclusively accessed from the primary suite, the striking third-floor loft creates a private retreat, ideal for a home office, sitting room, or creative space, enhanced by a new solar-operated skylight with shade. A second en-suite bedroom with its own private bath provides additional comfort and privacy, while convenient second-floor laundry adds everyday ease. The beautifully finished lower level offers exceptional versatility, featuring a comfortable living area that doubles as the fourth bedroom, a private office with heated floors, and a luxurious steam shower. A new glass storm door fills the space with natural light and provides access to the outdoors, with just a few steps leading up to ground level. Additional laundry hookups offer added convenience, while even the pristine mechanical room reflects the meticulous care found throughout the home. Major improvements include a newer roof, extensive window and door replacements, LED lighting, upgraded electrical service and panels, a tankless water heater, updated kitchen appliances, and comprehensive plumbing and drainage enhancements, including a flood-control system, perimeter drain tile, sump pump, and battery backup. A radon mitigation system, masonry improvements, and stylish interior updates add to the home's exceptional appeal.
