Come up the front porch and through the foyer into a living room built around a fireplace, the kind of space that works for a quiet Tuesday night in or a full house on a holiday. There's an easy flow into the dining room and kitchen, so cooking and hosting feel like the same activity instead of two. Open the back door, and you're on the patio, enjoying your morning coffee outside, with the detached two-car garage and garden beds within the fence. Upstairs, the primary suite is a real retreat: walk-in closet, en-suite bath with stacked laundry, room to actually unwind. A second bedroom where a second bath sits alongside it. Keep climbing, and the third level surprises you: a bedroom big enough to be a primary in most homes, plus floored attic storage that finally gives you somewhere to put everything without losing space. Downstairs, the finished lower level flexes for whatever life throws at it: a rec room with custom built-in bookcases and room for guests, a second laundry, and another full bath. Thoughtful upgrades completed recently include: replacement of all the windows in 2019, along with new window treatments; new front door in 2023; and all new plumbing throughout the home in 2024. Step outside your door and AU Park does the rest. Walk to the Red Line at Tenleytown-AU. Stock up at Target or Whole Foods without getting in the car.
