Built by renowned craftsman Duncan Ray of Ray Custom Homes (now Artisan Crafted Homes), this exceptional residence offers timeless design, thoughtful updates and outstanding livability on a quiet, dead-end street setting. The main floor features 10-foot ceilings, heavy moldings and beautifully proportioned formal spaces, including a large living room and family room—each with a gas-log fireplace—and a gracious dining room with a bay window. A main-floor guest suite adds flexibility for visitors or multigenerational living. The heart of the home is the 2021-renovated kitchen, showcasing white cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway-tile backsplash, a Wolf gas range and a Thermador built-in refrigerator. Entertaining is effortless with a butler's pantry featuring a U-Line icemaker (with the good ice) and a large walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite impresses with a generous bedroom and a large, well-appointed bath. The finished basement offers a rec room, workout room, abundant storage and a dedicated mechanical room—while a whole-house generator provides peace of mind, running everything except the basement HVAC. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, excellent storage throughout, a new roof in 2024 and a great deck overlooking a beautiful yard. Ideally located in a sought-after location, this home combines quality construction, modern updates, and a serene setting plus the bonus of the Root-Oberlin-Broughton school district.
