12 years of thoughtful design & meticulous attention to detail have transformed this extraordinary property into a true private enclave in the heart of town. Centered on a beautifully landscaped 1.18-acre lot, this re-imagined home offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion & unbeatable convenience - just minutes to everything. More than $230,000 in upgrades & improvements have been invested into this home, not including all the landscaping, gardens, & water features that make the grounds feel like a private botanical retreat. Surrounded by towering Arborvitaes, majestic pines & spruces, this property feels wonderfully tucked away. A Ginkgo-lined driveway leads toward a serene Japanese maple & Hosta garden, shaded beneath giant oak trees. Here, a dramatic boulder waterfall cascades into a bubbling brook & tranquil pond. The expansive, gently sloping backyard offers endless possibilities — including the perfect setting for the future possibility of adding a sun-shelf in-ground pool just off the oversized rear deck. The welcoming front porch stretches an impressive 12’ x 28’. A red quarry tile floor is scheduled for installation before closing. Off the kitchen, the rear 25’ x 11’ deck overlooks the lush, private backyard. Trex decking & white PVC railings provide stylish, low-maintenance living. The oversized tandem 2-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, tools & garden equipment, while the insulated concrete walk-out “bunker” beneath the front porch provides more bonus space. The finished basement rec room comes complete with large windows, a wall of closets & a hidden vintage bank-style safe. This home was truly designed for entertaining, with spacious rooms, seamless flow & a rear parking pad can accommodate at least 5 cars. Inside, timeless craftsmanship blends beautifully with modern updates. Guests are welcomed by a ceramic tile foyer with plaster coved ceiling, before stepping onto gorgeous vintage oak floors that flow into the expansive living room. Oversized front windows & a rear bay window flood this space with tons of natural light, while stunning plaster work, an ornate tray ceiling, medallions & original neon cove lighting preserve the home’s distinctive mid-century charm. A newly installed direct-vent gas fireplace adds warmth & ambiance. The adjoining dining room continues the elegance with arched doorways, sophisticated lighting & architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship rarely found today. The kitchen has been completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, soft-close drawers, pull-out storage - pairing beautifully with modern appliances, designer tile work, quartz countertops & abundant LED lighting. The showstopping blue quartz waterfall center island with downdraft gas cook top is the dramatic focal point. The bathroom & closet renovation transformed outdated spaces into two luxurious modern baths & a spacious walk-in primary suite closet. With stylish tile work, illuminated mirrors, bluetooth speaker exhaust fans & designer finishes, these spaces offer a spa-like experience. The east private primary suite is a true retreat, thoughtfully separated from the other west wing bedrooms. Two bedrooms currently function as home offices, while the 4th bedroom is currently a dedicated home theater, complete with a platform for seating & an 82” wall-mounted television that stays with the home. And the upgrades continue: top-of-the-line tilt-in windows, rebuilt deck, new vertical siding, updated boiler & chimney liner, backup furnace and A/C, 2 new patios, new shingled roof, new fireplace hearth & so much more. Every improvement has been carefully considered to enhance comfort, efficiency, style & livability. This is more than just a home — it’s a one-of-a-kind property designed for gathering, relaxing, entertaining & making lifelong memories. A truly special opportunity for the next owners to simply move in & enjoy everything that has already been lovingly created. Owner/Agent.
