How do we love this home?  Let us count the ways.

  

The enclosed three-season porch with newer windows is perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by. 

Inside, vertical hardwood flooring with ribbon inlay graces the living room and formal dining room. A brick-front wood burning fireplace with matching wall sconces sits center stage in the living room, while 2 wood columns flank the sunny den/playroom off to the side. 

The updated kitchen, with pantry, mudroom and access to the backyard, features stainless steel appliances, subway tiles, granite counters and recessed lighting. 

The 2nd floor boasts four roomy bedrooms, with ceiling fans and built-ins, as well as a main bath with quartz custom vanity, subway tiles and a tub/shower. The main bedroom has access to the renovated third floor where you'll find a rec room that could be a fifth bedroom or office, with more built-ins and storage. 

The finished walk-out basement with new floors has a recreation room, a guest bed, a full bath with marble floor and tub/shower, a laundry nook & utility/work room. 

A lovely, level backyard with patio and one-car garage rounds out this amazing home. Oh, and did we mention 23 Skidoo, a beloved restaurant/bakery/coffee cafe, is a block away? One double espresso with a raisin Danish coming up!
