About This Home

As of December 2021

This quality built Arthur Greene home has been meticulously loved and cared for by the original owners. Nestled on a quiet cul de sac in a private, yet extremely convenient location with a freshly painted exterior, and featuring a great open floor plan for everyday living as well as entertaining with spacious rooms and gleaming hardwood floors on the main level. The light filled two story foyer with open staircase welcomes you in and opens into the living room with picture window looking out onto the fabulous yard and gardens. Gourmet cooks will love the updated kitchen with abundant custom cabinetry, center island with seating, top of the line appliances, granite countertops and eating area. Open to the kitchen, the family room w/fireplace and wet bar is a great place to relax and entertain and flows into the fabulous two story vaulted sunroom with access to the deck and yard. The 1st floor primary suite includes a wonderful updated luxurious bath with every amenity including heated floors, oversized shower, separate soaking tub and two individual vanities. A home office, powder room and nice sized laundry room w/sink complete the first level. The second floor with all new carpeting has 3 additional bedrooms with one currently being used as a bonus room/studio space and two additional bathrooms. The basement was designed for fun! The large rec room has a wet bar/kitchen area and two built-in diner booths. There is plenty of room for a tv area, pool/ping pong table and exercise equipment as well as a large storage area with work bench. The backyard is fantastic, offering privacy and lush landscaping with conservancy behind.
