This stunning Colonial with a spectacular, expansive 2-story custom addition including an over-sized 2 car heated and air-conditioned garage is perfectly positioned on a beautiful corner lot in the sought after neighborhood of Curren Terrace in the award winning Colonial School District. Lovingly cared for and maintained by this owner for the last 54 years, this home has been masterfully transformed and renovated blending old-world charm with modern amenities. The heart of the household, a magnificently designed custom kitchen will inspire any chef to create meals that will delight guests as they gather around a uniquely shaped, centrally placed 2-tier granite island complete with table seating, bar sink, and plenty of storage. The working part of the kitchen is equipped with stainless steel, upscale appliances that include a 4-burner gas stove with electric oven and a wall oven with warming drawer. This amazing space features an abundance of ash wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an over-sized undermount sink and tumbled marble backsplash. Recessed lighting throughout this space is complimented by a dramatic 2-story atrium-like area with 6 skylights flooding the room with natural light and a three-sided balcony situated over an ample area for dining. Completing this enormous kitchen is a spiral staircase, 2 custom desks with granite tops and cabinets for extra storage and inside access to the garage. Open to the kitchen is the spacious family room with cathedral ceiling supported by custom wood beams, complete with recessed lighting. A striking wood-burning Fieldstone Fireplace with a raised slate hearth shares this space with a custom built-in office/entertainment center. Two sets of 8-foot sliding glass doors open to an expansive patio and beautifully manicured yard. The living room offers a gas fireplace with wooden mantel and brick surround and exits to its own private side patio, while a graceful archway leads to the front foyer and main staircase. Hardwood flooring flows seamlessly from the living room and foyer into a bright, formal dining room. An updated half bath including a custom vanity with granite top completes the first level. An enchanting spiral staircase rises to the balcony over the kitchen between the main bedroom suite and the original house. A hallway leads into a sizable Italian-marble dressing room with whirlpool tub, recessed lighting, 2 sinks and 2 large walk-in closets. The separate water closet contains the rest of the bathroom including a pedestal sink, a shower with steam system, and bidet. The main bedroom with its cathedral ceiling boasts a striking floor-to-ceiling antique wooden mantel and wood-burning fireplace nestled next to a cozy seating area. A sliding glass door with trapezoid windows above opens onto a private covered wrap-around balcony overlooking a secluded backyard. Finishing the second level are 3 generously sized bedrooms with hardwood flooring under the carpets and ceiling fans. One of the bedrooms includes an ensuite bathroom with an additional full bath centrally located in the hallway. The unfinished basement provides a large laundry area and separate utility room for additional storage. Noteworthy improvements include 3 HVAC units, roof replacement, vinyl siding, gutters, gutter guards & downspouts, 6 atrium skylights, 2 Pella garage windows, hot water heater and 2 relined chimneys. This home is convenient to major highways with nearby shopping at the KOP Mall. Standing proudly in an established tree-lined neighborhood, this property is just what you have been waiting for: An exceptional, elegant home in which you will create memories that will last a lifetime.
