Approaching the home, you'll notice new Nichiha fiber cement siding, crafted nearby in Georgia - to offer the look of traditional cedar shake without the maintenance concerns. Professionally designed landscaping is beginning to take shape, and will only continue to enhance the already-pleasing curb appeal with time. Step inside to discover arched doorways, a nod to the home's original architecture, leading you through spaces where refinished original hardwood floors gleam underfoot, and new windows bathe each room in abundant natural light. Solid wood doors throughout the home add an extra layer of quality and craftsmanship. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the well-appointed kitchen. A culinary masterpiece featuring a large island with a built-in sink and extra seating, this is a working kitchen that exudes timeless elegance. Directly opposite the island, a Wolf range is flanked by custom cabinetry, while Quartzite countertops elegantly harmonize with the artisanal Zellige tile backsplash. Upgraded appliances, including a paneled built-in dishwasher and refrigerator, ensure that no detail has been overlooked. Adjacent to the kitchen, the butler's pantry offers additional storage and functionality, making entertaining a breeze. The laundry room, with its charming checkered tile floor, is bright and airy, offering picturesque views of the front, side, and backyard - a delightful space that combines utility with classic appeal. A study with rich wainscot paneling provides a dark, moody retreat, ideal for quiet reflection or work, with peaceful views of the backyard. The family room is equally inviting, featuring built-ins designed to accommodate a large television, making it the perfect space for relaxation. From here, you'll enjoy easy access to the covered porch overlooking the expansive backyard. This provides an ideal setting for enjoying morning coffee, outdoor gatherings, or simply unwinding while taking in the tranquil views. A conveniently located powder room ensures guests are always comfortable, while ample storage throughout, including large hallway and linen closets, adds to the home's functionality.

The primary suite, situated on the main level, is a true sanctuary. With newly insulated walls for enhanced sound control, the spacious bedroom offers peace and privacy. The en suite bathroom is a spa-like haven, featuring textured tile floors, a luxurious soaking tub tucked beneath windows looking out to the trees in the back and side yard, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and an expansive walk-in closet that meets all your storage needs. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, one with a private en suite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms share a large bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Additionally, attic access and dual closets in each bedroom provide ample storage.

This level also houses a large bedroom with another full en suite bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower. There is also another conveniently located half bath for guests.

Every aspect of this home has been thoughtfully updated, from the all-new Sierra Pacific windows and roof to the comprehensive re-wiring, all-new plumbing, and the addition of three new HVAC units.
