About This Home

As of May 2019

This classic Hill Section colonial has been expanded and upgraded with a spacious new (2016) kitchen with southern exposure overlooking large backyard. A true cook’s kitchen with upgraded appliances, great work space, radiant heat and French doors to a classic screened porch. A beautiful first floor master suite was added in 2005 and then completely remodeled in 2016. All new (2016) heating system with air conditioning. There is a second master suite upstairs with a full bath plus two other large bedrooms, two additional baths and an office. The interior of the home is nicely opened up while still featuring some nice architectural details: hardwood floors, natural woodwork, crown molding, and corner hutches in the formal dining room. Both the new kitchen and the large living room with wood-burning fireplace have easy access to the screened porch and patio in back- Many features that are hard to find in the hill on a small side street. A large lot with peaks of the lake, attached two-car garage, a large mudroom, first floor laundry and multiple baths!
