A Home Shaped by Time, Designed for Today There's something special about a home that evolves with intention-a place where every update reflects not just style, but vision. Set on a deep 50x150 lot just a short walk from town, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath brick colonial began its story in 1950, expanded its wings in 1992, and has since been lovingly reimagined-layer by thoughtful layer-into a timeless, light-filled retreat. Inside, over 3,200 square feet unfold with warmth and sophistication. In 2018, a full main level renovation-an investment of $180,000-transformed the heart of the home. Walls were removed to open the layout, a formal dining room gave way to a custom mudroom, and the powder room was thoughtfully repositioned. A rear addition expanded the family room, now wrapped in oversized windows and crowned with coffered ceilings. At the center, the kitchen radiates purpose and beauty with its crisp white cabinetry, oversized island, professional-grade Wolf range with pot filler, and abundant natural light. Hardwood floors stretch throughout the main level, connecting each space with a sense of flow and understated elegance. In 2010, a $70,000 renovation redefined the home's upper level. The primary suite was created as a true sanctuary-generous in size, serene in design, and complete with a spa-like bath that soothes and inspires. The second full bathroom was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with thoughtful finishes and modern function. Every bedroom offers its own timeless charm, filled with natural light and designed for both comfort and grace. The basement was significantly upgraded in 2020 with a $70,000 renovation, adding a full bathroom and completely rebuilding the laundry area. The space also features a sleek epoxy floor, offering versatility for recreation, fitness, or creative pursuits. And then there's the backyard-a space that feels both private and inspired. A dramatic two-story covered outdoor living structure offers shade, style, and year-round usability. Entertain at the built-in grill station, gather under the string lights, or relax beneath the blooms of a stunning crabapple tree. Enclosed by a composite fence added in 2022, the yard is a picture of privacy and possibility. An extra-deep two-car garage with a walk-up attic provides ample storage, and a Kohler natural gas generator offers reliable peace of mind. This isn't just a house. It's a home that's been shaped-through care, craftsmanship, and vision-into something truly enduring. A place where the story continues, and the best chapters are yet to come.
