Some homes catch your eye from the street and never quite let go. That&#39's the effect of this exceptional Tuscany craftsman – blue Hardie Plank siding, wood shake gables, river stone accents, and an arched entrance that signals something special long before you step inside. It&#39's the kind of exterior that draws admiring glances from passersby, and the interior delivers on every one of those expectations.
A spacious foyer welcomes you in and draws your gaze immediately toward the back of the home, where the family room unfolds around a wood-burning fireplace — an increasingly rare find – flanked by custom built-ins and complemented by bookshelf cabinetry that gives the space an inviting, lived-in warmth. The picture window here frames the backyard like a painting you&#39'll never tire of looking at.
Between the family room and the kitchen, the dining room has direct access to the deck and overlooks the yard – so beautiful the owners use it for everyday dining. Clever pocket doors allow the kitchen to be closed off when entertaining, a thoughtful detail that speaks to how carefully this home was designed.
The kitchen is genuinely lovely: ivory cabinetry with granite counters, subway tile backsplash, gas cooktop, Miele double wall ovens, and a panel-front refrigerator. A slightly lowered counter section is a baker&#39's delight, and a cozy nook – originally designed as a breakfast area – has been reimagined as a quiet sitting spot with views over the yard and pond. The main floor also includes a well-appointed mudroom with garage access, a family command station, a powder room with charming wallpaper, and a flex room with sliding barn doors – ideal as a home office or reading room.
Upstairs, the wide staircase leads to a generous landing before arriving at the recently updated primary suite. It overlooks the yard, and the renovated ensuite is exceptional – thick marble counters, aged brass fixtures, and a herringbone-tiled shower where every detail has been chosen with care. The walk-in closet, outfitted with custom built-ins and his-and-hers laundry hampers, renders dressers unnecessary. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room with sink complete the upper level.
And then there is the backyard. Mature trees, a stone-edged pond, layered gardens bursting with perennials, multiple stone patio areas, a pergola, and additional green space beyond the property line – it is a garden sanctuary unlike anything you&#39'll find in a typical suburban yard. The seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces makes entertaining feel entirely natural here.
Backing onto green space, this is a home that rewards every glance – from the street, from the kitchen window, from a quiet evening on the patio.
