This 1929 Spanish Style Tudor home offers a blend of classic charm and modern convenience, with an array of features that cater to both style and functionality. Here's a breakdown of its key attributes: The oversized front porch sets a welcoming tone, leading into a quaint foyer. Inside, the powder room and coat closet add practicality. The sunlit Living Room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent is a Formal Dining Room, perfect for entertaining. The attached den provides a versatile space for an office or a reading nook. Both the Living and Dining Rooms feature elegant crown moldings and hardwood floors that extend throughout the first floor. A recent addition boasts a spacious Family Room with vaulted ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, and French doors that open to a full-length deck. This deck is accessible from both the Family Room and the eat-in Kitchen. The oversized Kitchen includes stainless steel appliances (replaced within the last 3 years), a portable island, granite countertops, a JennAir double oven, a gas cooktop with a stylish hood fan, and a serving buffet with a wine fridge. A beautiful hardwood staircase with a runner leads to the second floor, which includes four generously sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom features two wall-to-wall closets. All bedrooms have hardwood floors. The third floor houses a 5th bedroom/office and a large attic/storage room. This space presents an opportunity for expansion, potentially turning it into a large primary bedroom and bathroom. The lower level includes a large recreation room with 6.5 ft ceilings, a workshop/storage room, a laundry room/bathroom, and ample additional storage. The home has two furnaces and AC units. Notable updates include a roof approximately 15 years old, two sump pumps installed 2 years ago, an addition about 16 years ago, one furnace replaced in 2017, and a water heater from 2008.
