Truly a perfect synthesis; this home offers a hint of vintage, seamlessly intertwined with a complete 2018 renovation. Brought down to the studs, this home has been completely transformed, offering a flexible layout, oversized kitchen and custom-built dining area, gas fireplaced living room and office space on the main level. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms, a primary suite with 2 walk-in closets and a finished 3rd floor with option for 4th bedroom/bonus room. As a great addition, the lower level boasts a laundry and gym area. Upon entry into the foyer, the unexpectedly open floorplan feels welcoming and refreshing. The living room, centered by the wooden shiplap detailed fireplace, flows effortlessly into the dining and kitchen. With a perfectly planned layout, the kitchen is a showstopper, with Quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, a KitchenAid suite of stainless appliances and an island with storage. A designer, custom built-in seating and table area completes the kitchen. The office/playroom and a half bathroom round out the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms, including a primary suite with a luxe bathroom and oversized shower. On the 3rd floor, the bonus finished area adds great additional space. Note a lower level with gym and laundry room, Nest and Ring systems. The backyard is a private oasis, with paver patio, irrigation (entire yard) and room for a 12x24 in-ground pool. Within walking distance to beaches, marina, train, schools, shopping & restaurants. A total gem!
