The kitchen is a showstopper, boasting soapstone countertops, a built-in sink, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a stunning backsplash. A pass-through buffet counter connects to the dining room, and a breakfast bar provides additional seating. The two-story family room is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring a soaring stone fireplace, massive north-facing windows, and access to the loft via a spiral staircase. Step out onto the deck and take in breathtaking views of the park-an unbeatable setting! Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet and access to a finished attic storage space. Two additional bedrooms feature modern updates while maintaining historic charm. A second full bath with a walk-in shower and gorgeous tilework completes the upper level. The finished basement is built for entertaining, featuring a custom bar, space for a pool table, a full bath with a steam shower, and a fourth bedroom/office.
