Welcome to 281 Thomas Street, set in the heart of beautiful Richmondtown, where this exceptional four-bedroom, three-bath high ranch offers far more than first impressions suggest. This is a home defined by intention, thoughtful upgrades, and clear pride of ownership.
From the moment you arrive, the strong curb appeal and carefully executed exterior improvements set the tone. Inside, the lower level is finished with ceramic tile flooring throughout and immediately feels warm and complete. Through elegant French doors, you’ll find a spacious kitchen with a separate dinette, featuring quartz countertops installed in twenty twenty-one, stainless steel appliances, a ceramic backsplash, and new brass plumbing. The adjoining family room centers around a striking wood-burning fireplace that has been meticulously maintained, including a new flue cap installed two years ago. This level also includes a generous bedroom, abundant closet space, a beautiful new full bathroom, a laundry and utility area, a side entrance, and direct access to the garage, which features a solid wood door and updated mechanicals. Sliding doors from the family room lead directly to the backyard.
Upstairs, custom cabinetry welcomes you and sets the tone for the refined finishes throughout the main level. The sunken living room, anchored by a picture window, is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly into a spacious dining room, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized, newer kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring attractive countertops, a terrarium window, and a skylight that flood the space with light. Stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and stove from twenty twenty-two, a refrigerator from twenty twenty-three, and a microwave with vented hood, are paired with ample cabinetry. Hardwood floors, new oak railings, recessed lighting, and new interior doors complete the level with a cohesive, high-quality feel.
The upper level offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a king-sized primary suite with a walk-in closet and a new three-quarter bath. The additional bedrooms feature double closets and share a new full bathroom, along with a linen closet, creating a layout that is both practical and spacious.
The home is designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, featuring Energy Star-rated appliances, furnace, and central air systems. Two-zone heating and central air provide balanced climate control, supported by a new water heater and Andersen windows installed in twenty sixteen. A floored attic with blanket insulation and a whole-house attic fan offers excellent storage and ventilation. All window treatments and light fixtures are included, along with a security system and cameras for added peace of mind.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a recently upgraded backyard featuring new concrete, sod, and arborvitae for privacy and enjoyment. The front of the home showcases upgraded pavers and new steps completed in twenty fourteen, built over a solid concrete base designed to support multiple vehicles. The roof was replaced in twenty thirteen with a second layer and a twenty-five-year lifespan.
Ideally located in a prime mid-island setting close to shopping and transportation, 281 Thomas Street stands apart as a home where craftsmanship, comfort, and sophistication come together seamlessly.
