About This Home
As of July 2021There's just something special about living on the Historic Old Post Rd. This classic colonial is a blend of modern amenities/improvements & vintage charm:9 ft ceilings, gorgeous built-ins and mill work, new roof '21, new CAC & hot wtr htr '19, newer kitchen, windows, bathrooms, landscaping, irrigation system & patios. An open floor plan of LR/DR w/ by a corner fireplace greets you upon entry. The kitchen was remodeled 8 yrs ago & features neutral cabinetry, granite countertop, breakfast bar & center island, brand new SS appliances. Need an in-law set up? This home features a 1st BR w/WI closet & full bath w/tiled double shower & glass enclosure. A den/FR & home office complete this floor. Upstairs you will find 3 additional BRs & a full hall bath w/ tub/shower. Exterior was recently painted & an irrigation system, including soaking beds, added to keep the lawn & flowers looking good throughout the heat of summer. Gorgeous blue stone patios showcase the rear yard, w/ thoughtful planning/landscaping. There is tremendous expansion opportunity to increase the size of this home by going out over the 1st floor extension, as shown in drone shots. This location is prime. Walk a few short blocks to Jennings Marina & Beach. Walk to town, train, shops, restaurants. Park your car & hop on your bikes as you cruise around the beach neighborhood. With so few opportunities to buy into the beach area under a mill, this is a home run & an easy living lifestyle choice. NOT IN A FLOOD PLAIN
