Timeless charm meets everyday comfort in the heart of Lyon Village. Nestled beneath a stunning canopy of mature trees, this inviting 1928 Four-Square beautifully blends classic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. With four bedrooms and three baths, this exceptional home is rich in character, showcasing stacked crown molding, beveled glass windows, period-inspired fixtures, elegant ceiling medallions, an original staircase banister, and gorgeous 3-inch oak floors throughout. A lovely flagstone and brick walkway leads to the solid wood front door, complete with an antique brass knocker—an entry that sets the tone for the warmth and character found inside. A gracious formal living room, centered around a fireplace with a beautifully detailed white wood mantel and tiered corbels, creates a warm and welcoming place to gather. French doors open to a convenient home office, offering a private and inspiring work-from-home space, while the formal dining room easily accommodates gatherings large and small with seating for ten. At the heart of the home, the sun-filled kitchen is both timeless and functional, bathed in soft natural light and designed for everyday living. Crisp white cabinetry, sleek black countertops, and rich hardwood flooring create an elegant yet comfortable space, opening seamlessly to the expansive family room and casual dining area. French doors invite you outdoors to a private patio and beautifully landscaped backyard—perfect for quiet mornings, alfresco dining, or entertaining guests. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, with room for a sitting area and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional light-filled bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests alike. A walk-up attic offers excellent storage, while the lower level includes a recreation room, laundry area, wine room, and additional storage space. Outside, the beautifully designed backyard is framed by handsome retaining walls and complemented by a large detached garage equipped with an EV charger—an ideal finishing touch to this gracious Lyon Village home.
