With its distinctive Spanish-style roof, manicured landscape and welcoming covered porch, the exterior of this pristine turnkey home will have you at hello ~ then the interiors will inspire you to stay. Recently renovated with the home's architectural history in mind, the rooms are voluminous and light-filled and enjoy an open layout that incorporates the outdoors and provides an ideal backdrop for comfortable everyday living and easy entertaining. The main level includes the conveniences of a coat closet, powder room and butler~s pantry, as well as a dining room that can comfortably accommodate 12 and a stunning chef's kitchen with attached seating area. A deck off the kitchen leads to a flagstone patio and fully fenced backyard that sits beneath a canopy of mature trees ~ an idyllic, shady space that practically begs for pets, parties, playing children, or all of the above at once. A handy back staircase allows for secondary access to the sunlit, finished lower level, which features a large family room, full bath, laundry room, ample storage space and a separate entrance to the backyard. Natural light also abounds on a second level that includes a master bedroom with an en-suite bath; two spacious secondary bedrooms; and a newly renovated full, hall bath with a skylight. This is a beautifully appointed, elegant residence in a premier location.
