Featuring, 4-beds and 3-baths, this residence boasts just over 2,200 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space. Revel in the warmth of walnut-stained hardwood floors that extend throughout the main level, cozy up by the wood burning fireplace or soak up the sun from the spacious all season sun porch. Cook and entertain in style with a chef-inspired kitchen, featuring Noire soap-stone counter tops, vintage cast iron double basin sink, Wolf gas range with vent hood, an abundance of storage space and extensive eat at center island. The adjacent formal dining space is fantastic for entertaining yet easily transformed to accommodate your specific needs. The primary suite offers a full bath with newly tiled shower surround, two darling recessed nooks and closet. Down the hall lie the three additional bedrooms with full updated hall bath. The lower level is partially finished as recreation room yet maintains an abundance of storage. The charming exterior was updated in 2017 with Hardie board siding, Marvin Integrity windows and new aluminum soffit and facia. The garage was equipped with a new gutter system in 2023. You will be enchanted with this home and the vibrant lakeside village of Excelsior.
