This spacious and sun-filled stone twin home in sought-after Blue Bell Hill offers the perfect balance of classic 1920s charm and thoughtful modern updates. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, hardwood floors throughout, a detached garage, private fenced backyard, and more, this home has been exceptionally cared for and beautifully improved. Set back from the street and framed by mature trees, the home is a quiet retreat. A heated, enclosed sun porch welcomes you and adds an additional sound buffer before entering the main living space. The porch is a versatile space, ideal as a cozy sitting room or an expansive mudroom for bikes, hiking gear, and winter essentials.  Inside, the large living room showcases detailed moulding, inlaid red pine wood floors, and a re-lined corner gas fireplace. The adjoining dining room is bright and spacious, complete with wall sconces and a pass-through to the renovated kitchen. The kitchen is truly stunning, offering a 6-burner gas range, quartz countertops, ample custom cabinetry, large-format tile flooring and thoughtful lighting design. Just beyond, a conveniently located laundry/mudroom leads directly to the fenced backyard — perfect for gardening, entertaining, or easy access to the shared driveway and detached garage. Upstairs, the second floor features two generously sized bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and each with ample closet space, a full hall bathroom, and a large hall closet. A third room with built-in bookshelves offers flexibility for a den, office or additional bedroom. The third floor offers two more bedrooms, a full hall bath with classic clawfoot tub and handheld shower, and another spacious hall closet. The full unfinished basement provides abundant storage, a half bath, a 40-gallon hot water heater, Weil-McClain boiler, and bilco door access to the backyard. The basement was recently parged for added durability and care. Every detail in this home reflects exceptional care and pride of ownership. Additional updates include: roof maintenance, replacement windows, updated electrical and plumbing, and solar panel installation.
