Description

Welcome to the Acorn House—an exceptional brick ranch offering refined living on nearly an acre in a prime location. Thoughtfully updated, this 4BR/3BA residence blends timeless character with modern comfort.

A welcoming front porch opens to a light-filled, open-concept interior. The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and an island with seating and designer pendant lighting. Slate flooring adds sophistication, while hardwoods extend throughout the main living areas. The spacious dining room is ideal for entertaining, and the living room centers around a classic brick fireplace with wood stove insert. A light-drenched sunroom with tile flooring and beadboard ceiling offers a serene extension of the living space.

The expanded primary suite showcases a beautifully appointed en suite bath, highlighted by a custom barn door crafted from reclaimed Pennsylvania barn wood. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and main-level laundry complete the floor.

The finished lower level provides exceptional versatility with a kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, laundry area, and spacious recreation area—perfect for a private guest suite, in-law quarters, or income potential.

Outdoor living is unparalleled. The backyard is a true retreat, featuring an in-ground pool. Enjoy evenings by the firepit or entertain with ease across multiple outdoor living areas. A detached 2-car garage with an oversized cedar closet add both function and convenience.

A rare offering combining elegance, flexibility, and resort-style amenities.
