This home boasts 5 bedrooms, and 4 full bathrooms, including a full bathroom on the first floor. Originally built in 1925, the prior and current owners have thoughtfully curated this home to its current expansive state offering over 3700 square feet of living space.

The kitchen is white and bright, featuring a stainless steel sub zero refrigerator, GE Profile natural gas oven and microwave, Bosch dishwasher, undermount sink and ample cabinet and pantry storage. The countertops are a light solid surface complete with a tile backsplash which compliment the white cabinetry.

This living room also has its own door to the front of the property, and a charming covered front porch. Beautiful hardwood floors and craftsman style moldings run throughout the home. On the 2nd level you will find an extra large primary suite.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
