Property Description

Welcome to 196 E. Louis, situated in the eastern part of the desirable H.O. Stone neighborhood. A circular driveway enhances the curb appeal and adds functionality. The traditional brick and cedar residence is sited on a large corner lot, and offers over 2,700 square feet of above grade living space, plus a finished basement. This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home enjoys many updates by the current owners. Hardwood featured on the first floor, and in the main bedroom. The beautiful, gourmet kitchen was fully gutted and reconfigured in 2017, with neutral decor, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters including an extension with room for two stools. Separate eating area, with sliding doors that lead to patio. The family room adjacent to the kitchen area offers a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace with tile surround and mantel. Updated laundry/mudroom is conveniently tucked in between the kitchen and garage, and includes a side exterior door. The second floor includes spacious family bedrooms, and a substantial primary bedroom with spa-like bathroom suite, showcasing a freestanding jetted tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. The lower-level recreation room is a blank canvas, and includes a separate room ideal for an office. Great storage throughout the home. Enjoy a spacious, fully fenced back yard, and crushed stone patio; along with a separate pet run on the side of the house. New roof 2023 - see full List of Improvements under Additional Information.
