This architecturally distinctive 4 bedroom, 4 bathrooms home, was thoughtfully designed by the architect responsible for the Somerset neighborhood design. He created this gem of a home for his own personal retreat and it was one of the very first homes in the village. The current owners love the fact this home provides a traditional yet modern design. According to the architect the wraparound porch is considered the ''eyes on the community'' concept making it simple to watch kids play and greet neighbors as they stroll by. The beautiful hardwood flooring is old grove pine with four, six and 8 inch boards. The kitchen is very chef friendly with an open concept to the dining room room and sunken living room to make entertaining a breeze. The entire home offers 2,245 beautifully finished sq ft. The concrete slab fireplace has leaf prints incorporated into it from a leaf hand picked on the property. One of the favorite spaces anytime of the day is found on the back screened porch. Additional features include fresh interior paint as of 25/26, a new roof in '18, new furnace and AC in '18, a new water heater in '22, plus new carpet in the lower level. The spacious dining room allows for a large table or even the opportunity to extend out with leaves in the table and features a floating built-in cabinet which is both convenient and attractive. You will also love the fact it is all conveniently within walking distance to fantastic dining, including coffee and bakery spots, a favorite sushi restaurant, roof top bar and grill, a cafe serving handmade desserts and meals made from locally grown ingredients, not to mention banking, dentistry, salons, and fitness center options.
