You've seen this one. If you've driven through Westminster, you've slowed down to admire it - the stately columned portico, the sweeping covered porch, the light-filled sunroom rising above the deck. Now it's your turn to step inside. One of Westminster's most recognizable homes, this distinctive 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-level residence lives as beautifully as it looks. A grand columned entry opens to a generous living room with soaring 10-foot ceilings and signature arched windows, full of natural light and easy flow. The kitchen offers abundant white cabinetry and a breakfast bar, with a dining area that opens to a cozy sunroom and out to the deck beyond. A smart split-bedroom layout places the primary suite on its own private wing - complete with its own bath, walk-in closet, two linen closets, and access to the deck and sunroom - while two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath sit on the opposite side of the home, ideal for guests, family, or a home office. Out back, a one-of-a-kind sunroom wrapped in windows - over 27 feet long and 14 feet wide - sits surrounded by an expansive deck you can stroll nearly all the way around. It's a rare, flexible space overlooking lush, level grounds that back to mature trees, all set on roughly three-quarters of an acre with no HOA - a rare amount of room and freedom in this established neighborhood. Downstairs, a massive unfinished basement is a blank canvas with room to grow - finish it for a rec room, home gym, or in-law space, with potential to add a full bath. A two-car garage, a covered front porch, a dedicated laundry room, and a charming powder room round out comfortable one-level living. Even better, the big-ticket items are done: newer roof, HVAC, hot water heater, and both full baths updated, plus many additional upgrades throughout. A home this distinctive doesn't come along often. Come see it.
