English Cottage Coziness
Originality seamlessly blends with modern updates. Hardwood floors connect the living room to the dining room, and accordion glass doors open to the kitchen, where large windows light the space. A large island anchors the room, and granite countertops, wood cabinets, and new appliances make cooking easy. A charming breakfast room with a window seat, butler’s pantry, and a bar with wine storage expand the kitchen. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and the primary suite with walk-in closets and a bathroom with a glass shower, an air-jet tub, heated marble floors, and a heated towel rack.
Enhanced Luxury
The finished lower level allows much space to entertain with a family room and half bath. The backyard’s stone patio looks out onto the lawn, which is maintained by an irrigation system, and provides a place to relax. There is an oversized two-car garage with an elective vehicle charger. The sellers have made extensive updates to the house, including electrical rewiring, new insulation, drywall, paint, designer lighting and fans, and landscaping.
