About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in an idyllic setting at the end of a private lane, this stunning classic country colonial exudes warmth and charm. The inviting kitchen and breakfast area boasts walls of windows that bring in the beautifully landscaped, flat backyard featuring a peacefully secluded pool and pool house. The spacious first floor offers a generous living room with built-ins, a formal dining room, a versatile bonus room, and a library/office with beamed cathedral ceiling and a fireplace. Seamlessly connected with the library and the living room is the delightful sun room bathed in natural light from abundant windows and sliding doors opening to the back garden. The first-floor primary bedroom suite features radiant floor heating in the bath and full length windows with plantation shutters and access to the deck and beautiful grounds. Three additional bedrooms, each with private baths, complete the living accomodation. Meticulously maintained, this home is truly move-in ready. Further highlights include a stable converted into a recreation room, a fenced paddock, a finished basement gym/office with fireplace, a sweeping circular driveway and a fantastic location just half a mile from top-rated schools and 1.5 miles from downtown and the train station.
