Colorful exterior accents guide you into the crisp, welcoming interior. A vestibule opens to the front hall, flanked by a spacious formal dining room and a gracious living room with fireplace and custom built-ins. The family room, also featuring built-ins, overlooks the deep backyard and sits adjacent to a cozy four-season sunroom with radiant heated floor. The eat-in kitchen has been beautifully updated with new countertops and sink, backsplash, designer wallpaper and hardware. It includes a built-in banquette, Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator, and Thermador gas range.

Recent improvements include a new furnace (2026), updated electrical panel, soffit lighting in many rooms, and Pella windows throughout. The expansive 23 x 42 four-car tandem garage offers exceptional space for vehicles, bikes, a workshop or studio. The fenced yard features a paver patio, pergola and raised garden beds. Additional highlights include copper gutters and downspouts with leaf guards. The basement is dry and not affected by city-wide flooding events. Well-equipped, warm and inviting, and available May 1st for immediate occupancy.
