Just gorgeous. This classic brick colonial is a love letter to enduring design-graceful, rooted, and timeless-while quietly embracing a thoroughly modern way of living. Thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated, it offers that rare and wonderful balance: old-world charm, carefully preserved, paired seamlessly with contemporary comfort. Step through the front door and into a proper center hall, where a beautiful banister and traditional detailing set an immediate, reassuring tone. There's a sense here that this home has been well loved-and is ready to be loved again. Original character has been honored with intention, while every update has been made with today's lifestyle in mind. It feels familiar in the most comforting way, yet entirely refreshed. At the heart of the home, the brand-new kitchen invites gathering and lingering. Creamy cabinetry, never-used stainless steel appliances, luminous quartz countertops, and abundant storage create a space that feels both elegant and effortless. A thoughtful "disappearing act" removed walls to open the flow between preparation and relaxation, allowing conversation to drift easily and moments to unfold naturally-whether it's a candlelit dinner with friends or a quiet morning coffee. Just beyond, the living room glows with warmth, anchored by a handsome fireplace that draws people in and encourages them to stay awhile. It's a room made for slow evenings, shared stories, and the soft crackle of a fire as the day winds down, firelight dancing merrily off beautifully refinished hardwoods. When a quieter, more intimate retreat is desired, the four-season sunporch offers a sun-drenched escape-perfect for curling up with a book, a blanket, and the gentle rhythm of the seasons passing by. The layout continues to delight with its flexibility, offering potential for a first-floor fourth bedroom and ensuite accommodations, second-level laundry, and spaces that adapt gracefully to the changing chapters of life. Behind the beauty lies true peace of mind. Bathrooms, kitchen, mechanicals, flooring, paint, lighting, windows and electrical have all been thoughtfully updated, bringing the home fully into the 21st century while remaining deeply respectful of its past. This is a home where tradition lingers, modern life unfolds with ease, and romance lives quietly in the details-warm light through windows, footsteps on polished floors, and the feeling of truly being home. A classic brick exterior, a perfect address, and an interior that welcomes you in... and gently invites you to stay.
