Grand Georgian makes an ever-important good first impression with signature brickwork and architecture: quoins, jack arches, dentil cornices, and front entry pediment. The well-tended formal landscaping and stately shade trees whisper "traditional...established." It's LOVELY...but is it boring?? HECK NO! This fresh and classy renovation puts the twist in traditional, exuding quality well worthy of a discerning buyer. Step into the lovely, welcoming entry, flanked by generously sized formal Dining and Living Rooms. (Ever seen a formal Living Room you actually want to spend time in? now you have). Main level hardwoods were refinished to a soft gleam; the ceilings are high, the molding exquisite. Continue into the heart of the home - the light, bright, wide-open spaces of the redesigned Kitchen/Casual Dining/Keeping Room. The simply stunning kitchen parades its custom cabinetry, SS appliances, quartz counters & a whole row of pantry cabinets with handy custom drawers (how does one live without them?) To the left is a full bath and a true 21st century flex room, with laundry, drop station, closets, desks...a Multi-Tasker's Dream! Opposite the kitchen, a casual dining area and Keeping Room can host a couple or crowd. On the screened porch, keep cool with dual fans, dine or simply relax pest-free. More enjoyment awaits POOLSIDE!! The gunite pool has a 10-foot "deep end" complete with diving board; the "shallow end" has an attached spa and L-O-N-G water slide from a great kids' play tower. With such a big lot, the pool doesn't take up the entire back yard: plenty of sun at the pool, plenty of shade elsewhere. Past sundown, toast s'mores around the fire pit. High gas prices? With a perfect Staycation destination, stash the suitcases and save your sanity! Back inside, explore the second level. The Primary is spacious and serene with a customized WIC & expansive bathroom with roman whirlpool tub, vast double vanity and separate shower. Two large secondary BR's share a bath. Up separate stairs, the 4th BR/FROG with plenty of sleeping space, closets, cubbies, and private half-bath doubles as a Media Room w/ wet bar, icemaker and fridge. They'll be fighting over this room!
