Every once in a while, a home becomes available in that perfectly tucked-away quiet corner of the city that very few people know about and is extremely central. A home that has not been offered for sale in decades. A home that has been preserved and maintained to the highest standard. A home that backs onto a substantial, yet seldom-used green space. This is that home. Surrounded by properties that are equally well cared for by long-time owners, this home fits seamlessly into a neighborhood where pride of ownership is clearly evident. The landscaping is in near-perfect condition and is supported by underground sprinklers, while the extensive brick accents and exposed concrete details in the driveway add timeless character and curb appeal to the exterior. Inside, the open-concept design is highlighted by high vaulted ceilings, bay windows, and a fireplace that creates a warm and welcoming focal point. The master bedroom features an expansive bay window, new vinyl plank flooring, and a very generous updated ensuite with a walk-in / walk-through closet. Throughout the home you’ll find an abundance of solid wood trim and solid wood cabinetry in excellent condition, adding warmth and a rich, inviting presence. The convenience of main floor laundry further enhances the thoughtful layout of the home, and zoned heating with two furnaces provides efficient and comfortable climate control throughout. Step outside to enjoy a large, shady covered deck that offers an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the quiet green space behind the home. The oversized double heated garage offers exceptional functionality, featuring a commercial-grade concrete floor, a raised storage area, a large work space, and enough room to comfortably accommodate two full-size trucks. Over the years, numerous thoughtful updates and necessary upgrades have been completed, including new overhead garage doors in 2004, new aluminum deck railing in 2005, new front concrete in 2010, a new fence in 2012, a new roof in 2016, and a new garage furnace also installed in 2016. New water heater 2019 and Hunter Douglas window coverings. All 32 window casings were professionally refinished, while the front windows and dining room window received new sealed units. The upper arch windows were also tinted to help reduce interior summer heat. The fully finished basement is accessed by a formal staircase that leads into a very large family room complete with a wet bar, creating an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The lower level also includes a third generous bathroom and two additional bedrooms. Completing the basement is an impressive storage room measuring over 23 feet in length. The basement family room has the prep for an additional gas fireplace.
