North Claremont Home with Garden Charm. Located on a corner lot along one of North Claremont's tree-lined streets, this home sits within an easy distance of local shopping, dining, great schools, and Claremont's many parks. Lush landscaping and colorful flowers fill the front of the property, so arriving provides a moment of calm at the end of the day. Inside, natural light fills the main rooms and high ceilings give them an open, airy feel. The formal living room has an impressive amount of space and flows into the adjoining dining room, where an elegant archway sets the area apart and a large table fits comfortably for holidays and dinners with friends. A butler's pantry links the dining room to the kitchen, making it easy to move between serving and hosting. The kitchen offers generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast counter, with views of the backyard to enjoy while you cook. Just off the kitchen, the family room is warmed by a fireplace and high wood-beamed ceilings, the kind of room where an evening tends to linger. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary suite is generously sized, with custom wood closet cabinetry, distinctive built-in wall details, and an ensuite with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms and a second bathroom complete the interior. The backyard is where this home really opens up. Surrounded by lovely gardens, it offers several places to settle in. A large covered patio shades the main sitting area, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, a barbecue, and extra seating, and a pass-through window to the kitchen means meals can move outside without a second thought. Beyond the patio, a second pergola creates a private spot to relax above a pond with a cascading water features, the kind of place you might find yourself with a morning coffee, or cozying up with a great book. A large grassy area leaves room to play or to shape the yard to your own plans. An extra room off the garage with back yard access can be adapted to whatever you need it to be. With its corner-lot setting, thoughtfully landscaped yard, and place in an established North Claremont neighborhood, this home is ready for someone who wants room to settle in and make it home.
