for $1,850,000 with 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths, 1 half bath. This 4,425 square foot home was built in 1954 on a lot size of 0.98.
Set in the desirable Newstead neighborhood, this distinctive 1954 turn-key mid-century modern ranch is defined by light, scale, and a remarkable setting. With over 4,000 sq ft of flexible living space, 5BRs, and 4.1Bths, the home is flooded with natural sunlight and framed by oversized picture windows. A generous foyer with a new powder room opens to the main living area, where the WOW factor is the spacious living and dining room with huge picture windows, a wbfp, and a family room overlooking the expansive property. Nearly an acre of fully fenced, level grounds create a rare backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. The EIK features granite counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, double wall ovens, and 2 skylights. The primary suite addition offers a private retreat w/heated bluestone patio, sitting room, stunning full bath, and a giant WIC. Two additional graciously sized BR's and a hall bath round out the bedroom wing. A 3-car attached garage opens to a mudroom with laundry, an additional BR, and full bath. The second level features a fifth BR, full bath, and a generous bonus space w/windows overlooking the backyard, ideal for an artist studio, office, or rec room. 2016 updates include custom built-ins, 3-zone HVAC, humidifier, UV systems, 2 water heaters, whole-house generator, French drains, and a dry utility basement; a new roof and Hardie Plank siding complete this impressive Newstead offering with presence, privacy, and exceptional livability.
