Property Description

Stately brick 4+1 bedroom, 3.1-bath home in the sought-after Country Club section, ideally nestled between both LT campuses and offering a true walk-to location for schools, Waiola Park, LGCC, and the commuter train. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home is truly turnkey, with cosmetic improvements complemented by major mechanical updates including drain tile and overhead sewer, upgraded water line, new AC, furnace belt and motor replacement, and a new tankless water heater. A welcoming two-story foyer opens to the living and dining rooms, both filled with natural light and accented by gleaming hardwood floors. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the detailed trim work, moldings, and custom built-ins. The spacious kitchen features antique white custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, granite countertops and island, and high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. All four bedrooms on second floor are generously sized with excellent closet space. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a luxurious en-suite bath, custom closets, and a vaulted ceiling with architectural cross beams. The beautifully finished basement showcases exceptional craftsmanship with a bespoke family room, stunning full bath, and an additional room currently used as a bedroom, offering flexible living/office space. An attached two-car garage with access from 48th Street adds everyday convenience. The professionally landscaped yard with sprinkler system and expansive patio creates an ideal setting for outdoor living and entertaining.
