Timeless elegance and outdoor living on an oversized lot! Nestled on a hill, this stately American Foursquare exudes vintage charm and character. Step onto the large, inviting front porch and enter through the stunning stained glass front door, where you'll be welcomed by period woodwork and doors adorned with crystal knobs. The home boasts tall 9-foot ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors throughout most rooms, as well as an abundance of natural light from large windows. The spacious entryway greets you with old world charm and has a large closet and stylish powder room tucked beneath the home's double staircase. Beyond the entryway are two living rooms, separated by double pocket doors, offering flexibility and great flow. The front living room leads into the rear, which features a beautiful corner wood-burning fireplace with built-in storage on one side and a pair of recessed cabinets with stained glass doors above the mantel. This room also includes a large box bay window and direct access to the back porch and rear yard. The formal dining room is a showstopper, showcasing another large box bay window, a built-in buffet with leaded glass cabinetry, a wraparound plate rail, and convenient rear access to the staircase. The adjoining butler's pantry provides extra storage, a second freezer, and an appliance garage, leading into the eat-in kitchen with neutral wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a bay window, and another door that opens to the back porch and rear yard. Step outside into a level rear yard an entertainer's dream! Added during the past four years, a large bluestone patio, custom 6-foot white cedar fencing, an elegant arbor, and beautiful plantings provide plenty of space for gatherings and additional privacy. The detached one-car garage includes an attic/loft for additional storage. Upstairs, are four generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and a full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms could easily serve as the primary bedroom. One of these bedrooms leads to the home's crowning feature an 20-foot-wide covered second-floor porch, perfect for morning coffee, private outdoor dining, or a relaxing retreat with views of the yard below. The unfinished walk-up attic offers endless potential, with dormered windows, a cedar closet, and plenty of space. Centrally located in a walkable neighborhood, this vintage beauty is just minutes from shopping, schools, the train station, and more!
