Property Description

Bring your vision and creativity to this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home nestled on a mature wooded lot and surrounded by homes well over $1M. With a spacious layout, strong bones, and an unbeatable address, this property offers endless possibilities. The main-level primary suite already includes many desirable features—dual walk-in closets, dual vanities, uplighting, crown moldings, an oversized custom shower, and a two-person Jacuzzi tub. At 13.5 x 16.1, the bedroom easily fits large furniture and provides the ideal foundation for a true owner's retreat. Additional highlights include a light-filled sunroom, detached oversized two-car garage, and multiple flexible living spaces that can be reimagined for modern lifestyles, including home offices, media rooms, or private retreats for every family member. Encapsulated crawlspace. While some updates are needed, the upside is undeniable: renovate to your taste and gain instant equity in a premier location with top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and daily conveniences just minutes away. Opportunities like this—where location, lot, and potential align—rarely come along. Don't miss the chance to transform this home into a showplace that matches its million-dollar surroundings.
