You may be glad you didn't get that last house you offered on since this one is PERFECT! Truly wonderful gem in the great neighborhood of Canterbury. Everything here is done for you---you really do just have to move in and unpack. Custom addition makes this a special floorplan that is like no other in the neighborhood--you get a larger family room, a breakfast room and a fabulous master bath! All newer hardwood floors throughout the main floor make for easy clean up. The updated, custom kitchen is 5 * all day long! Custom soft close cabinets, granite counters/island, tile backsplash, stainless appliances and pantry are going to mean this is where everyone will spend their time. That makes the cozy breakfast room so important for the extra room, seating and the bright sunlight that pours in through the windows and door. Step down into the enlarged family room with vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace and extra large sliding door for even more natural light. These rooms are the HEART of this HOME and are practically perfect in every way! Formal living and dining rooms do offer more space for when you need it. Head upstairs to find your peaceful getaway--quiet carpeted main bedroom escape offers walk in closet and a dream bathroom with an oversized, fully tiled shower, double sink vanity, storage and just room to breathe. The hall bath has also been updated and will keep your guests happy too. Basement is finished and is great usable space for whatever you need--play area, home office, etc. The backyard is fenced in and has lots of great landscaping and tall trees for nice privacy.

Shows like a model!!As you walk thru the threshold of this lovely home you are impressed with the upgraded, "sun-soaked" beauty, the meticulous attention to detail & the utter charm offered through-out. The foyer, offering parquet floors, flows into the large formal living rm with huge windows and adjoins the dining room w/ fabulous floor to ceiling "bumped out" bay window ? overseeing the gorgeous rear yard. The kitchen offers oak cabinets, over the sink window, pantry & newer stove, but the stunner in this room is the addition ? a large and very sunny eating area surrounded by windows and French doors ? all in lovely stained wood. Another impressive room is the sunken family rm, featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling w/ recessed lights, six panel glass door w/ palladium window again flooding the room in sunlight, and a stately brick gas fireplace to enjoy the chilly winter nights. Through this room is a full laundry rm, generous closet, garage entrance as well as the first flr powder room. The second floor is bright with the octagonal window gracing the top of the stairs ? then be prepared to be impressed - The hall bathroom is exquisite and much unexpected. It measures 18x10 with the most striking feature being the walk-up Jacuzzi under the large palladium window flanked by two linen closets & vaulted ceiling The bathroom also has a generous stall shower and large vanity/sink area. This room is connected to the master bedroom which has a separate vanity area & water hook-up for shower or commode if the future owner wishes to have a master bth installed. This room, too, is bright & cheery with extra long windows, and offers a large walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms on this floor are very generously sized and have ample closet space as well. The basement is another jewel to this home. It is professionally finished, offering a great room for living and easy entertaining and a storage room as well. But now, let's discuss the fenced in yard ? it's "park like" setting is extremely charming with it's well manicured lawn and gardens with flower beds and plantings as well as a pleasant patio - this is one for "Better Homes and Garden". To be sure this home is lovely and has been well loved & maintained through the years. Recent improvements have been the new high efficiency heater and new condenser (3 years) new roof (3-4 years) New replacement, tilt-in windows and more.
