About This Home
As of May 2018This roomy, well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath colonial is on a quiet street, adjacent to several acres of parkland, and located on one of the largest lots in the area. It is nicely landscaped and has a fenced, large backyard. Since 2012, the owners have installed a new roof, siding, windows, HVAC, water heater, hardwood floors downstairs, and refinished the hardwood floors upstairs. Also, just last year a new kitchen was installed! The open floor plan flows from the entrance foyer to the living room, to the dining room, and into a bright, eat-in kitchen and family room. The kitchen features granite counter tops, ceramic tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The spacious living room and dining room are perfect for entertaining. The cozy family room features a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The main level also has a laundry room with a large, extra pantry. Upstairs, the large main bedroom has a full bath, dressing/sitting area, and a walk-in closet. The finished lower level is great for a play/recreation room. Convenient location, close to shopping, parks, schools, and 5 minutes from I-95. This home is a must-see!
