About This Home

Commuter's Dream! This classic 5BR, 3.2BA Center Hall Colonial with well-maintained slate roof is ideally located just blocks from the Midtown Direct/Walnut Street train station, shops, and restaurants. Step into an inviting foyer leading to a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and an adjacent screened sunroom. The dining room features a breakfast bar that opens to a recently updated kitchen. A powder room and access to the attached two-car garage complete the first floor. The second floor includes a large primary suite with ensuite bath and shower, plus three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor offers a fifth bedroom with ensuite bath and a large bonus room perfect for guests, office space, or rec room. Freshly painted throughout with newly refinished hardwood floors. Full, partially finished basement with laundry and powder room ready for your special touches. Surrounded by privacy hedges, the home features perfectly manicured flower beds, new brick and slate hardscaping, and a freshly paved driveway with Belgian blocks. The expansive fenced garden includes raised beds with berries, Japanese salad greens, Australian lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, and cut flowers: perhaps a future stand at the Walnut Street Farmer's Market! Welcome home!
