A Fine Find & Addition

A Fine Find & Additional Land

By Lisa J. Gotto | Photography by Janelle Stroup

This home in Easton is the epitome of the pretty, sunny, happy home built near the turn of the 20th century and well upgraded for today’s present-day living scenarios. Built in the farmhouse style, this home offers a feeling of downhome comfort from its generous wrap-around porch to its gracious patio and pool area out back. Upon entry you’ll notice the quality of warm hardwood floors combined with the history of the home’s original doors and other vintage touches like the entryway staircase with period-style balustrade.

To the left of the stairway, you’ll enter the home’s spacious living room through a set of antique French doors. As is the standard in all the home’s rooms, this space is filled with abundant natural light from its many large windows. It also offers some charming built-in bookcases and provides entry into the home’s classic study/family room with a traditional red brick fireplace with white wood mantle and surround. This room also offers a series of built-ins and a great space to gather for family movie night. Large sliding glass doors provide the perfect focal point to the beautifully landscaped backyard hardscape with charming paver stone seating areas and a large, in-ground gunite swimming pool.

This room also offers a step-up entry in a large dining room that opens both to the back patio and a lovely, twotoned farmhouse kitchen. Expertly upgraded, this room offers darker, black custom cabinetry on the bottom and bright and white cabinets above counter level. The space is large enough to add a center island, and offers an in-room pantry and open, built-in shelving. Granite countertops, a gray subway tile backsplash, and stainless-steel gas range add all the smart finishing touches.

Upstairs the home offers three lovely bedrooms with those gorgeous large windows. The generous primary suite offers a separate primary dressing room and a pretty, white en suite bath with wainscoting and a marble top vanity.

This floor also offers a generous, light-filled sitting room with plenty of space for a sectional sofa and a work-fromhome station. This room opens to a multi-purpose office or study space with a wall of built-ins for resource material storage and additional closet space. Another full bath on this level is shared by the second and third bedroom.

Should the new homeowners require even more space, this property also comes with an additional buildable lot so there’s lots of room to grow.
