As you approach this one-of-a-kind home, you're immediately welcomed by beautiful landscaping, including a graceful weeping mulberry tree, a rare weeping Norway spruce hybrid, and a mature pear tree. The cedar siding adds natural warmth and charm as you arrive at the custom-made front door with decorative glass, a perfect entry to a home filled with craftsmanship. Step into a spacious open foyer featuring two custom cedar-lined closets with shoe racks. The foyer flows seamlessly into the living room where you"ll find vaulted ceilings with hand-installed individual wainscot boards, creating an airy, inviting space. Custom barn-wood window closures add a rustic touch while tying the open-concept design together. The kitchen and dining area are packed with charm and utility: quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, wood-grain subway tile backsplash, and a century-old barn-wood wine rack that complements the other barn-wood accents throughout the home. A generous island anchors the space with a stainless steel farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and custom pendant lighting-ideal for cooking, entertaining, or casual family meals. Upstairs, each bedroom features a unique, custom-designed closet. Bedroom 3 offers a cedar-lined closet, while Bedroom 2 showcases wide pine boards finished with a white chalk paint wash. Barn-style window closures continue the cohesive theme throughout. The hall bathroom includes a new showerhead, a custom-made vanity sink, and an Amish-crafted mirror from Lancaster, PA. The primary suite is a true retreat with a built-in fireplace, custom shelving, and a large custom built closet. The ensuite bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary with shiplap walls, a custom-built shower stall with dual showerheads, and antimicrobial, slip-resistant tile. It also features a Bluetooth speaker fan and a sleek countersunk medicine cabinet. The lower level features custom stonework showcasing the LOPI Cape Cod high-efficiency wood stove with push-button GreenStart ignition. Quarter-inch thick LVP flooring runs throughout this level, and custom ceiling boards add warmth and texture. Under the stairs, you'll find additional storage.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
