A welcoming formal entry with coat closet opens to a spacious living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace featuring a beautiful gumwood mantel and surround with built-in storage. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to the updated kitchen, which has been opened to create a more connected and functional layout while still retaining some of the original built-in features. The kitchen offers generous space, quality updates, quartz countertops, and a sitting or home office area that makes everyday living easy. The main level includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom with heated floors. One of the bedrooms features French doors that open to a private backyard with covered patio and lush greenery, including a Gravenstein apple tree, creating a peaceful outdoor setting. Upstairs, a large primary bedroom is complemented by a charming second bedroom and a landing area that could be used as a home office, reading space, or play area, along with a bathroom with shower and heated floors. The basement provides flexibility for storage, laundry, or future living space along with direct access to an extra deep tuck-under garage.
