Lovingly maintained and owned by the same family for almost 6 decades, this grand Joern built Georgian style home exudes timeless charm and sophistication. Upon entering this gracious brick residence, you are greeted with original architectural details that seamlessly blend the home's historical roots with modern sensibilities. Gorgeous hardwood floors, abundant natural light, unique folding doors and freshly painted rooms create an inviting atmosphere throughout the entire home. To the right of the graceful foyer is an expansive, elegant living room with a wood burning fireplace which leads to the formal dining room where many family holiday dinners have been enjoyed through the years. Adjacent to the dining room, is a beautifully paneled den offering a refined retreat with rich wood finishes, custom built-in bookshelves and a cozy wood burning fireplace. Continuing through the main level, you'll discover a bright and spacious family room with newly refinished pine floors designed for both casual living and entertaining which opens to the large backyard blue stone & brick patio. The family room seamlessly connects to the gourmet kitchen forming the heart of the home. Granite countertops, double ovens, a pantry wall and a generous island make this kitchen a chef's dream. As you ascend to the upper level, you'll find the private sanctuaries of the four bedrooms. Each bedroom boasts generous proportions and ample organized closet space. The primary suite features a spa-like ensuite bath with glass enclosed steam shower and heated floors. The second bedroom with brand new plush carpeting also offers an ensuite bath with glass shower and heated floors. The upstairs hall bathroom services bedrooms three & four featuring beautiful vintage tile and a gorgeous vaulted ceiling with a skylight. One of the most captivating features of this Georgian style gem is its huge private sundeck located off the second floor. Surrounded by lush greenery and offering tree-top views, this outdoor oasis is the ideal setting for hosting unforgettable gatherings or simply basking in the sun in complete privacy. For those seeking entertainment, this home has a dedicated home theater in the finished lower level with plush seating where you can enjoy your favorite movies or binge-watch the latest series. The lower level also offers a mudroom area just below the back hall, a third wood burning fireplace, a large clean & bright laundry room and tons of storage space. Outside, the meticulously landscaped grounds complement the home's architectural style adding to its curb appeal.
