## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to this beautifully maintained Beaverdale brick home with timeless character + thoughtful updates. From the moment you step through the antique front door, you'll appreciate the warmth and charm that make homes like this so special. Original hardwood floors and natural light create an inviting feel throughout the main level. The updated kitchen features maple cabinetry, quality appliances, reverse osmosis, and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with morning sunshine while overlooking the backyard and gardens. Two spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find a truly exceptional primary retreat rarely found in homes of this era, offering incredible closet space and a spacious bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. The lower level provides additional living space perfect for a family room, game room, or home office, along with ample storage. Outside, enjoy the new deck overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds filled with hydrangeas, peonies, roses, mature trees, and a sunny vegetable garden. Major updates include furnace and A/C (2022), radon mitigation (2021), electrical updates (2024), venting and flashing improvements (2024), garage door (2025), deck (2025), and Bosch dishwasher and LG washer and dryer (2025-2026). All just steps from the park and within walking distance of Beaverdale favorites. Schedule your showing today!
