If you looked up the definition of a "charming cottage," this darling home would undoubtedly be the picture next to it. Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a living room that simply oozes charm, complete with a beautiful decorative fireplace, powder room and warm, soft lighting. Entertaining is a delight in the formal dining room, which features an elegant alcove of windows that provides a truly unique feel. Just beyond, the updated kitchen boasts a large center island and flows seamlessly into a cozy family room anchored by a gorgeous butler stone fireplace. For ultimate convenience, the primary suite is situated on the main level and includes a beautifully updated full bathroom. Upstairs, the home offers wonderfully distinct living spaces accessed via two separate staircases. Ascending from the living room reveals a large second bedroom with its own full bathroom, while a second staircase off the family room leads to an equally spacious third bedroom, also boasting a private full bath. Both upper-level retreats are beautifully accented with detailed alcove windows. The lower level expands the home's footprint with a versatile recreation room, a utility room with laundry, and a dedicated storage room. Sliding doors from the kitchen invite you to a serene, park-like setting where a beautiful trellis shades a stone patio perfect for al fresco dining.
