Quintessential Ruxton Charmer. Step into timeless charm with this welcoming 1903 shingle style cottage, where character and comfort blend seamlessly with thoughtful updates. A delightful awning covered porch invites you into gracious living spaces filled with dappled natural light thanks to the well maintained mature landscape. Living and dining rooms are complete with wood burning fireplaces. A cozy den with built ins and bay windows is the perfect spot to relax. The well appointed kitchen, with Wolfe range and Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, is drenched in sunlight and provides one of two access points to a spacious deck, the second being a welcoming and light-filled family room. Down the deck steps find a lovely native plant garden and the former garage, known as the "Nook" - which now serves as a fair weather getaway and exercise spot. The second floor provides 4 bedrooms and two full baths, including the ensuite primary with fireplace, vaulted ceilings and skylights. A lower level bedroom/office with full bath opens to the back garden and a covered lounge space - for relaxation and privacy at once. Every window and exterior door has been replaced. Roof is approximately 12 years old. Hardscapes by European Landscapes and Design.
