Overview

Welcome to this charming brick Georgian home in sought after McKenzie School District, close to train, walking distance to lake and high schools, is available for the first time in nearly four decades. Built in 1925 and lovingly maintained, this sun-filled residence offers over 2,000 square feet of wonderful living space with 4 spacious bedrooms, 2.1 baths, and numerous thoughtful updates made by the current long-time owner. Classic architectural details such as hardwood floors, crown and baseboard molding, and high ceilings lend warmth and character throughout the home. The entry opens to the foyer with a gracious staircase and powder room on the landing. To the left, the inviting living room centers around a gas fireplace with a handsome wood mantle and enjoys abundant natural light through charming bayed windows. The formal dining room, bathed in southern sunlight, features built-in bookcases and opens to a large, carpeted family room overlooking the lush backyard and gardens. With three walls of windows and additional built-in bookcases, this relaxing space connects seamlessly to the outdoor patio and barbecue area. The kitchen features hardwood floors, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Jenn-Air electric stove, Bosch dishwasher, and a stainless-steel double sink. A kitchen addition also overlooks the backyard. An adjacent mudroom, added by owner, provides access to the attached garage and rear yard-perfect for busy households. Upstairs, the primary bedroom connects to a shared full bath with hallway access, while three additional bedrooms offer flexibility-the fourth bedroom currently serves as a home office and shares a bath with electric warming floor with the third bedroom. The basement includes a spacious recreation room with a decorative (originally wood-burning) fireplace, a laundry area, boiler room, and under-stair storage. Recent upgrades include a French drain around all exterior walls and a sump pump for added peace of mind. Additional features include hot water radiator heat and a Space Pak central air conditioning system, ensuring year-round comfort.
