About this home
Nestled on the crest of Old Wood Rd sits a Barloga designed gem that looks like it's been plucked from the pages of a storybook. Over 3500 finished square feet of charm and character. Generous foyer gives you the first look of the rich hardwood flooring. The spacious living room is adorned with dentil molding, gas fireplace and French doors to a screened porch. Opposite the living room is a handsome den with corner fireplace, walls of built-ins and private powder room attached. Gorgeous dining room has bayed window, elegant wainscoting, hardwoods with inlay border and a 2nd set of French doors to the porch. Newly renovated kitchen thoughtfully designed to retain the historical charm yet has all the modern conveniences: ss appliances, classic inset cabinetry constructed with dovetail joints/soft close drawers, quartz counters with breakfast bar, coffee station with beverage refrigerator and butcher block counter, pantry cabinets, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, beamed ceiling. Kitchen dining offers a delicious view of the fenced rear yard from the expansive picture window with quaint window seat. Sliders open to the rear patios.
