About This Home

As of April 2019

Welcome to the Borough! Set at the end of a cul-de-sac and bordered on 2 sides by wooded land, this classic Colonial is in a private yet convenient location, just minutes from town, I-84, and Taunton Lake. This home has maintained its lovely character while being updated with modern finishes and conveniences. This home boasts natural gas and city water! The main level has a stunning kitchen with granite and stainless steel appliances overlooking a lovely sunroom with incredible views of the expansive, landscaped back yard. Step out onto the new composite deck and enjoy the views of the in-ground pool (complete with waterfall) and built-in fire pit on the stone patio. Just steps from the kitchen is the lovely dining room and large living room with hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace. A half bath is conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs you'll find the generous master suite with an updated full bath with Carrera marble and walk-in closet. Also upstairs are 2 more bedrooms and a hall bath with double vanity and shower/tub. The updated lower level is bright and has many options. It's a fantastic space for entertaining with a door to the stone patio and pool, and the kitchenette (with honed granite counters, a dishwasher, sink, and refrigerator) makes party prep and cleanup a breeze! A full bath makes this a great option for a bedroom, or in-law or au pair suite. A separate space serves as a laundry room but can be so much more. Take a look and fall in love!
