This four-bedroom, three-bath home in downtown Winchester is a lesson in how to make an old home contemporary and hip. A bold, handsome exterior greets you first, offering a preview for an attractive, refreshing interior design with neutrals and bold color choices, an open floor plan, and lots of natural light. The common area is anchored on one side by a brick fireplace and a handsome built-in on another. Configure how you like for relaxing and dining. The kitchen shines between the chic gray cabinets, a bold backsplash, the stainless farmhouse sink, and a Samsung Smart Fridge. An island adds more counter and storage space with a raised area for casual dining or working. Exit the kitchen into a space easily usable as a main floor owner's suite"or perfect for a den, office, or reading nook. Big sliding glass doors bring in the light. Turn the corner into a hallway containing a full bath with a luxurious, state-of-the-art shower and wet spa, plus an exterior entry with cabinet storage (if not used as a bedroom, this could be a mudroom area). Heading upstairs, pass a whimsical stained-glass window to the second level, where three large bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry facilities await. A spiral staircase leads to a loft ideal as a bedroom"but really anything such as recreation, lounging or office"as it contains a bar with a sink, mini-fridge, andcabinets plus another full bath with one of those dreamy combination wet spa showers. Heading outside, a chic, hardscaped patio with plenty of room for seating, eating, and entertaining looks out over the lawn and garden in this backyard oasis, surrounded by fencing and leading to a gravel parking area containing a large shed. There's already so much to love about this stylishly renovated home, but it's also in a terrific location, close to the walking mall and all the places that make living downtown desirable.
