About This Home
As of January 2019NEW PRICE! AND NEWLY REMODELED HALF BATH! NEW BACK ENTRY FLOORING. The expansive foyer leads to the bay-windowed dining room and living room... all three containing gorgeous wide-plank yellow pine flooring. The generous and spacious staircase complete with landing, winds below a skylight.
This uncommon colonial has a nice kitchen which opens into a versatile room with sliders to the deck and a fireplace. Step out onto the virtually maintenance-free, full-length deck overlooking the beautiful backyard from two separate access points.
You’ll discover a heated, light-filled room… think art, sewing, office, reading, on this level as well. This home has pocket doors, a central vacuum system and a total of THREE, FULL BATHS!, in addition to the remodeled half-bath off the main foyer.
Although unfinished, this house contains a 1,584 square foot basement with double-door walk-out, and 2 attics.
The 1.5 acres of natural beauty contains a yard with plenty of room to enjoy, plus a fenced, garden area. This location is within minutes of Bethany Town Center and a major state road for easy access. Welcome to this quintessential New England town with one of the top-rated school systems!
