Updates include; new furnace in 2012; new hot water heater 2017; basement waterproofing with French drains, two sump pumps and wall treatments in 2016-2020; refinished hardwood floors on second floor 2018; balcony resurfaced in 2018; new Samsung stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave in kitchen 2022; stone pointing in 2022; band new fence enclosing backyard in 2022; remodeled second floor powder room 2022 and remodeled primary ensuite bathroom in 2023, both with underfloor heating; new roofs replaced from 2018-2024. Inside, you'll discover many built-in features, cozy fireplaces, stunning terracotta tiling, and elegant hardwood flooring. French doors guide you to a delightful elevated patio, where you can indulge in the awe-inspiring views of the expansive backyard and garden, along with a separate three-car garage. From the inviting covered front porch to the turret that offers panoramic views of the surrounding trees and rooftops, it is truly one of a kind.
