Beyond the manicured front lawn framed by encore azaleas and a newly painted facade, a light-filled, intuitive living space invites you to make yourself at home — while taking in every last detail. Renovated in 2014, the living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, where a coffered ceiling, wainscotting, and new pendant lighting form the perfect backdrop for all of your day-to-night dining adventures. From the intricate moldings to the sophisticated paneling, the living and dining room renovations were inspired by traditional Wardman architectural characteristics infused with the stylings of French culture. Steps away, the gourmet chef’s kitchen, renovated in 2016, serves up high-end appliances, new cabinetry, custom shelving, and a chic tin backsplash. Take the stairs to discover each of the three newly renovated bedrooms, including the Primary Suite that stuns with intricate ceiling work and pendant lighting. Also found on this level, a freshly refurbished full bath features marble floor tiling, a new tile shower surround and sink, refinished tub, and a recently added rain shower head.
Refinished in 2020, the basement comes complete with built-in cabinets, a recreation room, half bath, and laundry facilities. And last but not least: outside, a tranquil alfresco oasis doubles as a year-round stage set for every occasion imaginable.
