Original oversized chestnut and beveled glass door leads into the front entry with a wainscoted staircase showcasing a mullioned window at the landing. Quarter sawn white oak hardwood flooring flows throughout the first and second levels. The elegant living room features a lovely brick chimney detail, specialty oversized trim work and silk roman shades. In the dining room you'll find crown-capped doorframes and windows, a silvered ceiling and custom Rejuvenation light fixture.

Quartzite countertops, inset cabinets, specialty tile backsplash, 36" JennAir gas range, oversized stainless hood, stainless French-door refrigerator and paneled integrated Miele dishwasher are all in exceptional condition. A polished nickel Rohl bridge faucet, 30" fireclay farmhouse sink and Rejuvenation chandelier top off this stunning space.

Beyond the kitchen is a laundry and mud room addition providing plenty of storage space and convenience plus small pet door/exterior ramp to the fenced back yard.
