New Listing
In-Person: 08/21 4:30 PM - 6:00 PMCome feel the vibe!This gracious Hedgewood 1.5-story home has a little swagger...think Frank Sinatra on the turntable, a fire glowing in the fireplace and cocktails with friends as the sun goes down. With a main-level primary suite, dramatic architecture and a fabulous connection to the outdoors, this is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly cool. The two-story foyer sets the tone with beautifully maintained original parquet floors. They flow into the vaulted family room, where fresh paint, built-ins and a dramatic wall-to-wall fireplace and hearth create the perfect backdrop for everything from quiet Sunday mornings to lively cocktail parties. Pour an Old Fashioned, cue up Sinatra and settle in by the fire...this room was made for it! Continue into the freshly painted formal dining room where an oversized picture window frames the lush, private backyard. There's something wonderfully retro about the scale of the rooms and all that natural light-elegant enough for a holiday dinner but relaxed enough to actually enjoy every day. Engineered hardwoods lead to the custom kitchen with smooth maple cabinetry, granite counters, slate backsplash, walk-in pantry and plenty of room to cook and entertain. The stainless appliances includes a double oven, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher and new cooktop (2025). The island with breakfast bar and generous eat-in area keep everyone gathered around-because the best parties always seem to end up in the kitchen. Slide open the triple glass doors and step into one of the home's best surprises: the east-facing sunroom with vaulted ceilings and updated electrical. Surrounded by views of the professionally landscaped property, it's a natural extension of the living space and an incredible place for morning coffee, evening cocktails or watching the seasons change. The first-floor primary suite is tucked away on the north side of the home for privacy, with rich cherry hardwoods and its own exterior access to a private patio and hot tub. The ensuite feels appropriately indulgent with custom travertine tile, granite-topped double vanity, separate makeup area, oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, plentiful storage and another full bath with a granite double vanity and full tub/shower. And because every great house should have a little intrigue, there's even a secret room at the top of the stairs-perfect for a reading hideaway. Downstairs, the fun continues. The finished lower level offers a large second family room ready for movie nights, game nights or your own retro lounge, plus multiple flex spaces for hobbies, bunnies, fitness or guests. There's also a serious workshop with task lighting, an expansive workbench and wall-to-wall storage. Another large flex room offers potential for a fifth bedroom, while a beautifully updated full bath, egress and 8-foot ceilings give the entire lower level a comfortable, finished feel. And then there's the setting. A deep, tree-lined backyard creates wonderful privacy, while established perennial gardens bring color throughout the seasons. The stamped patio begs for a pair of lounge chairs, something cold to drink and nowhere else you need to be. Yet if the need arises, you are located close to schools, shopping, and interstate access. Mid-century cool, modern comfort and plenty of personality-this isn't a cookie-cutter house. It's the kind of home that makes you want to light the fire, turn up Sinatra and stay awhile.
