Renovated in 2019, this home was completely reimagined with a fresh modern aesthetic and refined mid-century edge. Ideally located in a sought-after neighborhood near parks, schools, the train, and town, it offers incredible natural light, an easy-flow layout, and the kind of space, style, and functionality that is hard to find. A generous foyer opens to sun-filled living and dining spaces with new hardwood floors, modern built-ins, and wood-burning fireplace, all flowing seamlessly into the sleek white kitchen with breakfast bar, quartz countertops, striking designer backsplash, and Bosch stainless steel appliances, including a drawer microwave. A four-season room with new flooring, high-efficiency windows, and heater that extends the living space and opens to an oversized back deck overlooking the huge fenced backyard. Set on a 200-foot-deep lot, the attached two-car garage is a rare and highly desirable feature for this style of home, offering everyday convenience while allowing for even more usable outdoor space. A first-floor office with a closet sits next to a full bath, creating ideal flexibility for work-from-home needs, guests, or a potential fifth bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms including a private primary suite with its own balcony overlooking the deep backyard-the perfect spot for morning coffee. The spacious primary bath features double sinks, a separate shower, and soaking tub, while the two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. An oversized rooftop deck above the garage is an unexpected standout feature and adds even more outdoor living space. The finished lower level includes a recreation room with fireplace, a fourth bedroom, full bath, and bright laundry room. With four full bathrooms, thoughtful design, and major 2019 improvements including roof, windows, hot water heaters, kitchen & kitchen appliances, bathrooms, flooring, and stylish lighting throughout, this is a true move-in-ready home with a rare combination of size, style, attached garage, and oversized yard. Just move in and enjoy easy access to Nick Corwin Park, Hubbard Woods School, the train, and town.

Zoning
R5
Single-Family Residential District
The requirements set forth in this chapter, together with other provisions set forth in the Building Code of the Village, have been adopted in order to provide for a single-family residential environment of relatively intense suburban character, where the degree of improvements upon an individual parcel of land is in approximate balance with the landscape area of such parcel of land. Due to the mature character of development within this district, such requirements are also intended to assure that future modifications to existing structures, or the replacement of existing structures with new structures, will not alter the scale and general character of established neighborhoods. In this regard, the requirements set forth in this chapter are further intended to foster development which is compatible, in general, with the character of existing single-family development within the immediate neighborhood with respect to external architectural scale, landscaping and other site improvements.
