Welcome home to a distinct Craftsman Colonial defined by historical character, thoughtful detail, and an unbeatable double cul-de-sac setting in highly desirable Gunther Village. Approaching the one-acre property, you will immediately notice its cohesive, stately street presence, highlighted by cedar clapboard siding, a classic cedar shake roof, and a sweeping, level driveway framed by granite borders. The surrounding landscape offers a private retreat, complete with a lush vegetable garden, diverse native plantings, a side entrance patio, and a serene rear patio positioned to capture views of a quiet, running stream. Inside, the layout unfolds through unique, multi-level living spaces designed for both everyday function and effortless entertaining. Entry from the side patio leads directly into a dedicated playroom, ideal for games and creative recreation. Just a step down, the main dining area sets a cozy, historic atmosphere with raw wooden ceiling beams and an extraordinary wood-burning fireplace crafted from authentic Revolutionary War-era brick. This room flows directly into a well-appointed galley kitchen featuring rich butcher block countertops and a gas range. Stepping up from the kitchen brings you into expansive family and formal dining spaces, where custom built-in shelving, adjustable dimmer lighting, and a second wood-burning fireplace create a warm, inviting environment.
The upper floor serves as a quiet sanctuary, anchored by a restful primary bedroom suite with its own private full bath. Three additional light-filled bedrooms complete this level, each showcase vaulting lofted ceilings, original hardwood flooring, built-in closet storage, and easy access to a second full bath. Downstairs, a partially finished lower level delivers flexible bonus space organized around a third fireplace, alongside abundant room for storage. Connected to public water and sanitary sewers, and powered by efficient gas heating and hot water, this eight-room residence offers a one-of-a-kind setting ready for its next chapter.
