Improved Price -- Welcome to this expanded home that harmoniously blends historic charm with modern upgrades - a turn-key gem that has been artfully crafted by local, award-winning Scribe Development. The A+ location in AU Park is ideal -- walkable to the Spring Valley Shopping Center and its many neighborhood conveniences like Wagshal's, the friendly butcher; CVS pharmacy; Millie's; Compass Coffee; Crate & Barrel; Pizzeria Paradiso; Bluestone Lane; and so much more.

Scribe Development delivers again with this custom 5 bedroom and 4.5 bath brick home that has been tastefully and thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. Sited on a leafy and lush corner lot, the home's original preserved detailing dovetails beautifully with modern updates to create a light-filled masterpiece. The charming front porch beckons you inside where you're greeted with gleaming white oak floors, energy efficient wood windows, Circa Lighting, and high-end fixtures and finishes across all four levels. There are two wonderful options for a primary bedroom: the second floor with an en suite custom-tiled bath with double sinks or the 3rd level with a treetop retreat with a walk-in closet and an en suite marble bath with double sinks, a large shower and polished nickel fixtures. The second floor has a large hall bath with on-trend tile and lighting and two nicely sized bedrooms. The main level layout and flow is ideal for the way we live and work today -- a welcoming foyer with coat closet, a light-filled formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and original mantle, a breezy screened-in porch, and a stunning chef's kitchen with custom-made cabinetry, a bay window and dining area with seating for 6, high-end stainless steel appliances, and open shelving that flows into to the office/ den / mudroom with custom-built wooden lockers and storage and a charming wallpapered powder room. Light-filled french doors open to the bluestone patio and the oversized fully-fenced side yard that is ideal for play, entertaining and dining al fresco. A storage shed with alley access is ideal for storage or a garden / potting shed. The lower level delivers with a family room that is just perfect for movie night; full bath; windowed bedroom that is ideal for guests, an au pair or in-laws; storage; and a separate laundry room with folding table and high efficiency washer and dryer with egress to the outside.
