Property Description
Chestnut moldings and beautiful hardwood floors are some of the original architectural elements that define this warm and welcoming home. Remarkably preserved quarter-sawn Chestnut shows off its grain and envelops the home with dramatic visual appeal. As you enter the living room, you can't help but notice the Craftsman style railing and stately newel post on the stairs, and the original dimensional door that conceals the entry closet. A large arch leads into a versatile dining room, where updated lighting and elegant ceiling molding helps set the tone for formal or casual entertaining.
Carpeted stairs lead to three bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. You’ll find neutral-tone rag-roll paint finish, Tone-on-Tone color schemes, wood floors, Carpet, ceiling fans, double-wide and large walk-in closets, high ceilings, and additional lighted storage. A door in the front bedroom provides alternate access to the bath, which has convenient built-in linen shelves.
From a peaceful sunrise breakfast to a fun family get-together, the kitchen is a versatile place that always seems to be the heart of the home.
Here you'll find a comfortable and nicely appointed true eat-in kitchen, with custom painting by Leslie Brown of Cardinal Designs. The cabinets and window trim are oak. The newer triple-casement window welcomes in the world outside. The floor is tongue & Groove hardwood. The Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator, Dishwasher and a one-year young built-in water filter will remain.
This space is just filled with possibilities! Located just of off the dining room on the first floor and sharing a short hall are a newly renovated bath and a comfortable bedroom. The bedroom is currently being used as a family/computer room that everyone can enjoy. The configuration of this area of the home gives it a versatility that will accommodate the needs of many homebuyers. In addition to its current use, it would make a fine In-Law Suite, home office, family room, nanny’s quarters, guest room, daytime nursery or play-room. It is also perfect for anyone requiring single floor living. The bath recently experienced a lavish renovation. Beautiful tumbled marble tiles line the oversized shower stall, which is fitted with a superior quality frameless glass door and a comfortable seating area. A white porcelain empire sink is set atop an attractive nutmeg tone vanity, opposite a Toto commode. The room is finished in a pleasing Venetian Rose with a complementing border at the ceiling, and oak molding. The bedroom features hardwood floors, custom finished paint, unique vintage doors and hardware, chair rail, and chestnut moldings.
At the rear of the newer driveway is a two car garage, which is extended to accommodate longer automobiles. It has active electric and gas service, and a concrete floor. The double-wide door with sunburst windows can be opened automatically with by remote control or key pad. There is welcome storage space found in the full loft area of the garage - accessed by a pull-down staircase. The full basement has a heated finished recreation room, and large storage areas. It is protected with a newer waterproofing system, including French drains and sump pump. The Utica gas boiler was installed new in 2003, about the same time that much of the home's water supply was converted to copper pipe. The water heater is brand new (4/06). The yard provides a peaceful area for outdoor entertaining, with easy access to the Livingston Public Library and town exercise oval. At 5 Amherst, you'll have only a short walk to find a front-row seat for Livingston's Annual 4th of July Fireworks, outdoor movies, sporting events, and concerts.
