Blending historic character with modern luxury, the home features a stunning chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and inviting, light-filled living and dining areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The second floor includes a spacious primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, a family bath, and convenient laundry.

Two driveways, a fenced yard, professionally designed gardens, and landscape lighting enhance the property's appeal.
