Enter through the welcoming vestibule into a bright and elegant living room featuring random-width original hardwood floors, high ceilings with dramatic crown molding, large windows with Roman blinds, and beautiful designer lighting that enhances the home's classic architectural details. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, where two glass-fronted built-ins provide both character and functionality.

The fully renovated kitchen (2024) is a true standout, designed with both style and performance in mind.

The kitchen opens directly to the private rear brick patio, offering easy indoor-outdoor living and convenient access to the deeded parking space. A well-placed and stylish powder room completes the main level. Downstairs, the finished basement provides an inviting family room featuring hardwood floors and a cozy gas fireplace - perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. This level also includes an additional powder room, a wine refrigerator, and a dedicated laundry area with full-sized washer and dryer. The second level offers a quiet and functional private office highlighted by built-in shelving and a distinctive oval-shaped window. Just beyond is the spectacular primary suite, featuring hardwood floors, high-ceilings, a ceiling fan, and two spacious double closets. The luxurious primary bathroom showcases custom tilework, a soaking tub, double vanity, and a spa-like shower with frameless glass enclosure. Continuing upward, you'll find access to another outdoor retreat - a sunny rear deck which is ideal for your morning coffee or evening relaxation. The upper level of the home features two additional bedrooms, each with a ceiling fan, ample closet space, and window blinds, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a shower/tub combination and space-saving pocket doors. Additional highlights include: an EV charger for the parking space, two HVAC systems, a tankless high-efficiency water heater, a water softener, newer windows, and custom window treatments throughout. 318 S.
