About This Home

As of August 2025

This Beautiful Colonial is a true 4-bedroom home, with all bedrooms conveniently located on the second floor, and boasts hardwood flooring throughout. You'll find a formal living room, a dining room with a fireplace, and 2.5 baths. The oversized eat-in kitchen is sure to impress, offering ample cabinets and Corian countertops. Upstairs, the bedrooms are all generously sized. The primary suite is particularly impressive, featuring cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an attached full bath. The enclosed back porch leads out to a deck and an above-ground pool, all situated within a nice-sized backyard in a lovely area of homes. The 2-Car Garage, and a finished basement with 2 additional rooms that could be used as an Office and Family room, complete the picture. Conveniently located minutes away from Bailey Brook Park & Conservation Area, featuring Pickleball, Disc Golf, a Playground, and Walking trails! Open House Sunday June 29th, 2025 11:30-1:00 PM
