Floor Plan

 

Property Overview

 

First Floor

Living room

The living room is where we gather to create memories, share stories, and find comfort in the company of those we love.
 

dining room

Preserving the original cove ceiling in our 1920s home’s dining room is like holding onto a piece of history, blending the elegance of the past with the convenience of the present. In this house, tradition and modernity gracefully coexist, reminding us that some treasures are meant to endure.
 

KITCHEN

The kitchen isn’t just a space; it’s a place where breakfasts turn into coffee chats, and where the double oven transforms Thanksgiving prep into a delicious breeze. It’s where convenience meets conversation, and where meals turn into cherished moments.
 

SUNROOM

Through the sunroom’s windows, we’re enchanted by the mesmerizing maplewood sunsets.

Dreams take center stage, and every night is a story waiting to be written.

Lower Level

The basement refinish has transformed home into a hub of activity, where kids’ social lives thrive, and have a retreat of own. With the convenient access from outside, the space seamlessly bridges indoor and outdoor, creating the perfect backdrop for gatherings and memories.
 

Exterior

Outdoor Space

Home’s charm starts at the front with flowering window boxes and a proud dogwood tree. The window box ritual carries the seasons, from impatiens to mums and holiday greenery.
