Fun Fact: The family room, Chef's kitchen, and upstairs lofted bedroom were part of this home's original carriage house built in 1902. The original structure was fully rehabbed in 2002 and served as the inspiration for the larger part of this home. A beautifully refinished staircase leads to a well-appointed upper level. The primary bedroom suite features a wood burning/gas starter fireplace, generous walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with marble finishes and a jacuzzi tub/shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath are complemented by another lofted bedroom with a full ensuite bath for generous living and flex space. The unfinished basement with lofty ceilings awaits your custom touches and offers endless possibilities for recreation, living, and additional remote/work flex space. A large utility area flanked by a substantial storage room and an additional storage room complete the unfinished space. Zoned heating and cooling provide maximum comfort. This well-landscaped home features a large side yard with a beautiful perennial garden. A private dog run tucked behind the home will delight pet parents and their faithful canine companions!
