About This Home
As of December 2023This exquisitely designed Nantucket Style Colonial, seamlessly blends elegance and everyday comfort. The main level effortlessly transitions from formal living and dining areas to the gourmet, eat-in kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, and two islands. The kitchen overlooks a family room with fireplace. On the second level are four of the home’s five bedrooms including a stunning primary suite. The primary suite offers a tranquil, private balcony and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with an oversized soaking tub. Three spacious bedrooms and a bonus room round out the second level. Not to be missed is the third-floor bonus room-a great space for a playroom or home office. The living space extends to the finished lower level, which features a bedroom, kitchenette, and living room, creating an ideal in-law suite. Completing the package are a two-car garage, a terrace with an outdoor fireplace, and pergola. Located close to shops, trains and schools, this home is a must see!
