About This Home

As of October 2025

Owned by the same family since it was built in 1951, this charming 4 bedroom, 3 bath colonial feels like a peaceful country inn. Located on 2 acres just on the edge of town, it blends the best of country life with town life. So many beautiful features are evident in this property. From the foyer, enter through French doors into the living room. A beamed ceiling, mahogany paneled wall and wood burning fireplace give character to this 15x24 room. Next is the cozy library with another fireplace, built in book shelving and pegged hardwood flooring. The 15x18 formal dining room has ample space to host family and guests. The island kitchen was updated with maple soft close cabinetry, a double oven, tiled counter tops, pantry and SS appliances. Enjoy the view from the kitchen table overlooking the yard and fields to the west. The main bedroom has a full bath with a step in shower. There is an adjoining dressing room that could be converted to a walk in closet or 2nd floor laundry area. The other bedrooms are all spacious, especially the one over the garage. If a 4th bedroom is not needed, this would be a great space for a workout room, T.V. room, craft room, home school, etc. The basement has tons of storage and a useable rec room. Outside, a paver sidewalk, stamped concrete patio and storage shed complete the package. Just hook up the grill to the gas connection and cook all summer! Pear, apple, peach and cherry trees provide delicious summer fruit. Windows were replaced in 2020. New boiler in 2023. Basement was professionally waterproofed in September 2025 and has a transferrable warranty. This is an amazing property in a great location!
