A complete top-to-bottom transformation in Chatham-rebuilt for the buyer who wants the beauty of a designer home and the confidence of serious behind-the-walls upgrades. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-family home has been completely reimagined from the inside out, offering a level of renovation rarely found in the area. Step inside and you immediately feel the difference: bleached red oak hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, carefully planned lighting, designer tile, and a layout that feels fresh, open, and easy to live in. The main living spaces were designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, premium Samsung smart appliances, high-end plumbing fixtures, and integrated LED accent lighting that gives the home a clean, modern feel without feeling cold. A custom dry bar adds a polished touch for hosting, coffee service, or extra storage. The bathrooms continue the same thoughtful design, including imported tile from Italy and Spain, showroom-grade Delta and Brizo fixtures, and a spa-inspired zero-entry shower with a seamless, modern look. It is the kind of detail buyers usually expect at a much higher price point. Upstairs, the attic has been opened up to create a flexible loft space-perfect for a lounge, office, creative space, reading area, or quiet retreat. Downstairs, the lower level adds even more usable living space, including a custom wet bar ideal for movie nights, game days, entertaining, or simply having room to spread out. But what truly separates this home is what you do not see at first glance. The property was stripped down to the studs and rebuilt with long-term durability in mind. Major improvements include all-new underground plumbing, a full interior drain tile system, new steel structural beams, reinforced roof rafters, professional masonry repointing and tuckpointing, closed-cell spray foam and Rockwool insulation, high-efficiency American Standard/Trane HVAC, MERV 16 air filtration, and a Rinnai tankless water heater for on-demand hot water. Outside, enjoy a large backyard with room to relax, garden, grill, entertain, or let pets play, plus a 2-car garage for parking and storage. Set in Chatham, near parks, schools, grocery options, public transportation, and neighborhood amenities, this home offers the rare combination buyers keep searching for: move-in ready design, meaningful space, strong mechanical upgrades, and a location with long-term upside as more homes in the area continue to be updated. This is not a basic cosmetic flip. It is a carefully rebuilt home designed to look good, live well, and give the next owner confidence from day one. Schedule your private showing and experience the difference in person.
