Welcome to this meticulously maintained, solid brick home nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street. Combining classic charm with a massive list of high-end, custom upgrades, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom property offers an unparalleled living experience. Step inside to a freshly painted interior filled with natural light. The inviting dining room features a bright skylight, alongside a classic built-in cabinet. Elegant French doors (2012) lead you into a spectacular, custom-built 4-season room. Crafted with rich cherry wood paneling, premium wood-clad Anderson windows (2017), and two stunning skylights, this space is engineered with advanced Norwegian insulation technology to stay incredibly cozy all winter long. European-style energy-efficient windows continue into the kitchen and dining areas, part of a whole-house window replacement completed with high-efficiency units in 2013-2017. Both main-level bedrooms feature custom built-in closets with integrated cabinetry for abundant storage. The primary bedroom serves as a true retreat, updated with scheduled electric curtains that open and close automatically. The upstairs bathroom was completely remodeled to pristine standards. Energy bills are kept remarkably low thanks to extensive attic insulation upgraded to an impressive R-49 rating, and full basement insulation while the roof offers long-term peace of mind, replaced with architectural shingles in 2016. A brand-new, solid ash wood staircase leads you to the spectacular lower level. This masterfully constructed staircase features a custom handrail with integrated, motion-reactive lighting. The fully finished, climate-controlled basement is an absolute showstopper. Built to remain completely dry, it features a built-in water mitigation system, a sump pump with a battery backup, a whole-basement exhaust fan, and a brand-new full bathroom. The space is richly detailed with custom white oak and ash woodwork, built-in cabinets, and wood-paneled ceilings, while offering easy access to all mechanical systems. With ample room to effortlessly add a 3rd bedroom, this floor also boasts a professionally built, fully soundproofed room-perfect for a workshop, music/vocal studio, or a late-night media room that won't disturb anyone upstairs. The outdoor space is a private, fenced oasis designed for both relaxation and grand entertaining. Custom landscape lighting transforms the backyard into a true wonder after dark, secured by custom metal and cedar gates. The grounds feature a wonderful playground complete with a slide, three swings, monkey bars, and a pull-up bar. Storage is plentiful with a hidden bike shed tucked under a lush grapevine, alongside a massive, modern storage shed that can easily be repurposed into an inspiring art studio. Located in an excellent, highly accessible neighborhood with quick access to buses, trains, top-tier schools, boutique shops, vibrant restaurants, and local parks, this home is a rare masterpiece of quality engineering and thoughtful design.
