Property Description
Located in the heart of Kenilworth, this residence combines classic architectural character with effortless modern updates. The journey begins in a stunning living room anchored by a crackling wood-burning fireplace and a picturesque bay window. Tucked away in the corner, a cozy library nook with custom built-ins offers the perfect spot to get lost in a book. The floor plan flows seamlessly into an inviting dining room, designed to host everything from festive dinner parties to casual morning coffee. It connects directly to a bright, crisp white kitchen that serves as the true hub of the home. This chef-ready space features high-end appliances, durable Corian countertops, and a peninsula with seating for quick bites. Thoughtful extras like a dedicated desk area, a butler's pantry bar, and a sun-drenched eating area under a vaulted skylight, makes the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Just off the kitchen, a comfortable living area provides a relaxed atmosphere for everyday lounging. Large doors pull the outdoors in, opening directly to a patio and a lushly landscaped yard that feels like a private retreat. This outdoor oasis is complemented by a convenient two-car garage, providing ample storage and parking. The tree-top primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary, featuring an updated bath, generous closet space, and the added convenience of walk-up access to the attic. Two additional spacious bedrooms are served by a contemporary bath equipped with double sinks and a tub-shower combination. A second living space serves as a true hub for relaxation and recreation, anchored by another cozy wood-burning fireplace and offering generous square footage for game tables or large-scale entertaining. Tucked nearby, a bright fourth bedroom with an adjacent hall bath currently functions as a private home office, providing a versatile layout that effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle. The lower level adds even more practicality to this impressive home. An oversized basement provides a massive footprint for storage, keeping the main living areas clutter-free, and houses a dedicated laundry area alongside the home's mechanical systems. From top to bottom, every inch of this property is designed for comfort and ease.
