A wide, covered front porch allows homeowners to enjoy the seasons outdoors, regardless of the weather. The gorgeous front door is Greene and Greene inspired, made of mahogany with delicately detailed cherry blossom art glass. The main level was built for family gatherings, a charming living room greets guests warmly, with the painted brick surround in the corner showcasing the wood burning fireplace and built-ins to feature your favorite books and family memories. Past the front room, the kitchen, dining, and family rooms are centered around a custom island with all the stops: a breakfast bar, wine storage, cooktop, and additional cabinet space. The kitchen features cream-colored cabinetry, stone backsplash, black granite countertops, and a walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving. Step down into the cozy family room to embrace the winter season and curl up on the couch watching your favorite movies. A full bath adjoins the family room and kitchen, perfect for guests and family time. You'll never worry about bringing the rain onto the beautiful hardwood floors with the mudroom - a modern necessity for on-the-go families and pets, featuring conveying bench storage, jacket hooks, and cubbies. It leads to the back deck and a pathway to the back gate. The dining room provides a more formal place for house gatherings, whether for Sunday dinners or holiday entertaining. The first upper level hosts the four bedrooms, including a primary suite. Each bedroom features original hardwood flooring and extra closet space. The three hall bedrooms share one bath, with a dual vanity and soaking tub with shower, while the secluded primary suite boasts a walk-in closet with a dressing area, an ensuite bath with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower and water closet, elevated by the crown molding lining the room. The original hardwood flooring from the kitchen and dining room was reclaimed and used in the primary suite. The second upper level offers a unique bonus space, with sloping ceilings, an additional full bath, and windows on the east and west sides of the room, allowing sunlight to bathe the whole level throughout the day. The loft area is flexible, perfect as an office, library, or virtual learning center. The lower level recreation room is a fantastic multi-purpose space to fill any need - create another family room for game night or accommodate an extra overnight guest with the built-in, conveying Murphy bed and spacious full bath for the ultimate guest retreat. Two large storage areas are tucked away behind sliding barn doors, a continuation of the Craftsman fashion. The property has a fully fenced side and back yard, a barrier between property and sidewalk, while maintaining an uninhibited atmosphere for impromptu chats with neighbors. The backyard has a stone patio and walkway to the side gate, for entertaining purposes, and enough grass for an expansive play space. The back deck, leading into the mudroom, is heightened by the pergola, with a playful vine winding up to the top. Parking is plentiful on-street.
