The distinctive corner location of this home is gloriously felt on the entry level, where sunlight floods (through beautiful oversized windows from three exposures and offers a seamless open layout between the expansive living and dining rooms and the eat-in kitchen. This home has a perfect layout with beautifully preserved period details throughout, including intricate inlays and hardwood floors, oversized wood framed windows, built-in book shelves, dentil and arched moldings and gorgeous stained glass.
Equipped with energy efficient AC throughout the house, the light filled custom eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, and has been tastefully renovated with stainless steel countertops and backsplash, two custom sinks, dual ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, as well as an LG refrigerator. There is ample storage with custom cabinetry which was designed efficiently and effectively. Enjoy meals throughout the year, on the generous deck directly off of the kitchen.
