Arched doorways, bay windows, built-in bookshelves, and storage niches add architectural beauty and function. Step outside into your private garden oasis, where every corner bursts with life and color: Two varieties of pear trees (Dewey & Bartlett-perfect for homemade caramel pies), grapes for wine lovers, berries for summer snacking, peonies, heirloom roses, 7 types of lilies, hostas, and more create a bloom-filled backdrop from spring to fall. A tranquil water feature adds movement and calm, and your private turf dog run makes it perfect for pets or storage. With a 2.5 car garage, full basement with laundry room and plenty of storage, flexible living spaces, and the rare blend of nostalgic charm and modern upgrades, this home is made for those who crave beauty, ease, and a deeper connection to home. Whether you're sipping wine by the firepit or drinking coffee on the patio, every inch of this space invites you to slow down and savor its beauty.
