When I tell ya this place has "ALL THE BELLS & WHISTLES" that is no exaggeration! The 20' covered front porch greets you - stunning foyer with grand staircase and amazing woodwork (including the original, and still operational, pocket doors) welcome you into this B-E-A-U-tiful 4-bedroom, 3-bath, vintage but modern home with all the upgrades you could possibly want. Granite countertops, 42" antique white staggered raised panel cabinets with soft close doors & drawers, are just some of the amazing touches that ensure THIS KITCHEN WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. The kitchen (which is open to dining room) also boasts glass tile backsplash, farm style basin sink, high arc retractable faucet, recessed lighting (including over prep areas), all stainless-steel appliances, including freestanding gas range with double oven (all 5 years young), peninsula breakfast bar and additional individual cabinet which is perfectly suited for a wine or coffee bar, a rustic ceiling fan with trendy mason jar glass shades & Edison bulbs. Other main floor features include 9' ceilings, brand-new laminate flooring in living room & dining room, cedar trim, and a main floor bedroom which could easily be used as a home office. The main floor bath features glass tile accent wall, original refinished cast iron clawfoot tub with shower wand, oval front, Shaker style linen cabinet & vanity, vessel sink with waterfall faucet and wood plank style ceramic floor. Three bedrooms on the second floor allow for private sleeping quarters separate from entertainment areas. No wasted space in this home - there is also a semi-finished attic area which could serve as an added closet (think holiday decor, luggage or even hobby space - you decide). Fall in love with the spacious master bedroom featuring a bath adorned with 18x24" pewter color tile, river rock floor & inlay, glass shower surround, as well as jacuzzi tub - the wood trim & corrugated steel accents carry the rustic yet classy theme through the owners en suite. Super cool spiral staircase leads to full, partially finished basement - 20x11 family room with recessed lighting, built-in bookshelves/display cases and mounted surround sound system, another full bath, as well as exterior access from storage/utility area. Sliding glass doors (with built in blinds) expand your living space from kitchen to your AMAZING OASIS of a BACKYARD! Covered 26x16 deck with ceiling fans, wagon wheel light and distressed siding add to the character of the home; the mounted TV & speakers will bring your party to life! Step down from the main deck to the lower 13x14 deck and jump right into your 18x36 oval pool without getting grass on your feet (the pool has gas & solar heat and new liner). Enjoy tranquil, relaxing evenings around the brick fire pit below your lighted pergola while taking in the lovely surrounding lighted landscaping (which just so happens to have an automatic watering system), oh and don't fret over your fire burning out - there's plenty of storage for firewood in the covered wood rack nearby. Attached concrete dog run with drain makes for easy clean up after your furry family members. 12x16 shed with electric, 50-year siding, steel roof, two windows & double doors allow bright, easy storage and access to mower & yard tools.
