Listing broker remarks

Meticulously maintained and lovingly cared for by its original owner, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Thoughtfully updated over the years with solid improvements, the home is move-in ready while offering the timeless appeal of a property that has been truly cared for. A beautiful layout on the first floor allows for easy living and room to entertain. The second floor offers a surprise with 3 secondary bedrooms PLUS a multi-room primary suite! The walk-out lower level is perfect for an au-pair, in-laws, or a private place for visitors. Set on more than an acre, the quiet lot provides plenty of space to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the outdoors. Easy-care seasonal gardens add color and beauty throughout the year, creating a peaceful backdrop in every season. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, yet exceptionally convenient to everyday amenities, commuting routes, and all that the area has to offer. Located within one of the area's highest-ranked school systems, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and an enviable location—all in one beautifully maintained home.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
