About This Home

As of August 2014

A ten minute walk from the shopping and restaurants on Main Street, a ten minute bike ride to the train station (there are two bike racks available) and an hour very peaceful ride to the city. No need to take your car out of the one car garage unless you really want to. Charing Cross is a lovely upscale townhome community with sidewalks, walking trails, lovely landscaping and a sweet playground. No property maintenance here-just sit on the rear deck and enjoy the breezes through the trees. An end unit, this home has a side entrance open to the lush side lawn made even more beautiful by the fact that someone else mows it! Enter into the foyer with recently refinished hardwood floors. To the left is the living room with two picture windows. To the right is the dining room with a unique punched tin candleier and recessed lighting. There is a half bath on this floor as well. Straight back to the family room with wood burning fireplace and door to the deck. Because this room is open to the kitchen you can prepare meals and still be a part of the activities. Entertaining flow is great especially if you are grilling on the deck. The kitchen features ceramic tile floor, Avonite counter tops, stainless steel sink and upscale appliances. There is plenty of room for a kitchen set or a center prep island. On the second floor, a wide landing with gorgeous hanging light fixture opens into three bedrooms, hall bath and second floor laundry. Double doors open into the master suite with spacious seating area, vaulted ceiling, walk in closet and sparkling remodeled master bath featuring double sink, soaking tub and separate glass enclosed shower. The hall bath has also been updated. Two bedrooms with generous closet space complete this floor. Additional features include: full walk out basement and one car garage with opener.
