The adjacent dining room, with room to seat eight comfortably, has a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. Enjoy three season al fresco dining in the backyard, which flows nicely from the kitchen out onto the bluestone patio, fully fenced and gated for privacy and safety for children and pets. The back gate and access to garage leads to a quiet common drive, used only by the neighboring houses. Two of the upstairs bedrooms, including the large master bedroom with room for a California King size bed, have west facing windows over the quiet back patio and garden. The third bedroom has east facing windows with views of tall trees. All the bedrooms have large closets, custom blinds and room for king/ queen-sized beds and dressers. The spa-like full bathroom with bathtub shower has been completely renovated with charming stone and decorative accent tiles that add a whimsical pop of color. The basement has been completely renovated and serves as a soundproofed music studio for the current owner. It can also be reimagined as a wonderful entertainment center, playroom, or home office with guest bedroom amenities (see alt. image). There is a newly renovated full bathroom with shower and beautiful tile work, new sound isolation double pane basement window, new doors with sound proofing treatment, and two large closets. The basement has its own access to the backyard through a private door. The basement also includes a new laundry room with Samsung front-loading Washer and Dryer complete with storage cabinets and a counter-top on which to fold clothing.

This beautiful home is freshly painted and move-in ready. The attic, which currently houses the central AC vents in part, runs the full length of the house with eight-foot ceilings, allowing for house expansion potential on the top floor.
