The thoughtfully designed and newly painted 1772 sq ft house opens into a large sky-lit living room with wooden floors, vaulted ceilings and fireplace, continuing on into an office/study area with vaulted ceilings and chandelier, and then into an updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and a dinning room that provides a lovely view of trees and the wooded area across the street. Upstairs contains three bedrooms with hardwood floors throughout. The master bedroom features his and hers closets and windows that provide natural light and more lovely tree views that make you feel like you live in a tree house, with an adjoining recently updated bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms upstairs with convenient built-in closets, ceiling fans, and beautiful light and tree views. A second updated bathroom at the end of the hall contains tile flooring and a bathtub that kids love. We will post additional photos as all of the updates and painting are complete.
Downstairs is a large open multi-purpose space with an additional fireplace that makes a great TV room, playroom, and/or study. A fourth bedroom and recently renovated bathroom works perfectly for older children, guests, an au pair, and/or a quiet office space.

There are two additional large storage closets in the basement and a 600-sq ft crawl space that is perfect for storing holiday gear.

During the pandemic, owners both worked well from home with thoughtful office set-ups in a house that also joyfully contained three children.
