Sun-filled red brick ranch in a wonderful neighborhood, beautifully renovated with a thoughtfully designed, flexible floor plan and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with high-end Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an oversized center island that serves as the perfect gathering place. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious hearth room featuring vaulted ceilings, custom furniture-quality built-ins, and a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. A separate, generously sized family room provides additional space for relaxing and gathering. The spacious primary suite overlooks the backyard and offers a serene retreat with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet and sitting room. Four additional well-proportioned bedrooms and three full baths provide exceptional flexibility and plenty of room for family and guests. A convenient first-floor laundry room and mudroom add to the home's functionality. The partially finished basement offers additional versatile living space, ideal for a recreation room, home office, or fitness area. Outdoors, a generous bluestone patio creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. A new roof is scheduled for installation next month. Ideally situated in a sought-after neighborhood with convenient access to local amenities and award-winning schools, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, modern amenities, and comfortable everyday living.
