Walking up to this 1870s home, you instantly admire the professionally landscaped front yard with slate walkway surrounded by lush greens and a custom fountain that leads you to your front patio and gorgeously detailed solid wood door. With over 2000 SF of stunning living space, the home is hardwired for CAT5 Ethernet and has dimmable recessed lighting throughout. Entertain with surround sound ceiling speakers installed in various rooms of the house, as your guests walk into a gorgeous open floor plan with hardwoods and exposed brick. The spacious living and dining area is highlighted with a modern, ventless gas fireplace and custom, high-end reclaimed wood shelving salvaged from an historic Amish barn. The living room is fit with custom plantation shutters, as is the primary bedroom, and there are room darkening blinds throughout. Before entering the beautiful kitchen, youll find a bright and airy powder room, perfect for when entertaining guests. The kitchen offers a wine bar, Frigidaire Gallery Series stainless steel appliances, granite counters with a custom backsplash with tiles featured in Architectural Digest, under cabinet lighting, a kitchen bar with custom woodwork to match the original external molding of the home, and a striking Edison Bulb glass pendant light. Heading downstairs, the handsome exposed brick wall leads you to a massive media room with wetbar, granite counters with custom cabinets, and a full bathroom that abuts an open den that could double for additional guest space or office.

The upstairs gallery hallway is perfect to display your works of art under a bright and sunny skylight. The cathedral ceilings in the primary suite provide lovely drama to the room, which features an ensuite bathroom and custom built-in cabinets for clothing, storage, and a media center. Two additional bedrooms and a high-end laundry finish out the upper level. Additional outdoor space could be added with a large deck off the rear bedroom.

The backyard offers private, secure parking with roll up remote garage door and can double as a lovely, sunny patio space when not used for parking. The back door to the house enters to the side where you can set up your bistro table for morning coffee.
