Built in 1958, set on two lots totaling .58 acres & topped with a newer roof installed in May 2025, the home makes a beautiful first impression with mature trees, a brick walkway, classic curb appeal & a wide, welcoming front elevation. Inside, the home offers 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms & 4,971 square feet, creating rare space for everyday living, entertaining, guests, hobbies, work and storage. The main level features two living areas and a formal dining space. Original details give the home its personality, from terrazzo flooring in the main living & kitchen areas to warm wood-paneled walls, generous built-ins and a striking wood burning fireplace. A wet bar adds a nostalgic entertaining touch, while large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding greenery. The kitchen keeps with the vintage spirit of the home, offering a galley style layout, abundant wood cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and breakfast nook. Whether preserved or renovated with a modern vision, the space offers a strong foundation and excellent functionality. The flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms downstairs, two with ensuite baths, plus a third full bath, each showcasing its own distinctive vintage tile. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms, a large bonus area and an additional bath create a private retreat with countless possibilities. Outside, the shaded yard, mature landscaping, brick courtyard/patio, covered RV/boat parking and garçonnière inspired storage building offer charm, function and flexibility. With two lots, there is potential to subdivide and build a second home, adding another layer of possibility.
