About This Home

As of June 2023

c. 1860 charming, well-maintained, and updated stucco over brick Colonial is picture perfect and move-in ready! Conveniently located in the quaint village of Springtown, dining, shopping, farmer markets and parks are close by, as is I78 for easy commuting. Watch the world go by from the welcoming covered front porch graced with blooming tulips, the ideal spot to relax and feel a sense of community from a safe distance. Enter the center hall foyer through the paneled glass front door with sidelights and transom window and be greeted by rich pine floors and carved knoll post, some of the original details that give this home soul. On the left is the living room with 9 foot ceiling, crown molding and tall windows filling the room with abundant Southern light. The wood stove and wall sconces add warmth. Flow through to the dramatic light-filled dining room, crowned by exposed beams and ideal for generous entertaining. Newly renovated, the impressive kitchen offers modern style with stainless farmhouse sink and sleek quartz counters, ample custom white cabinets and paneled exhaust hood, breakfast bar island and new stainless appliances. The exposed brick wall holds a Moravian tile inset with the words Silva Vocat, Latin for 'the outdoor beckons,' and through the French door beckons the side covered porch and beautifully landscaped garden! Behind the sliding antique door is the 2018 full bath with Merola tile floor, large subway tile shower, and laundry facility. The mud room with new glass slider opens to the wonderful paver patio with privacy fence and garden beds. Upstairs are 3 freshly painted bedrooms with original pine floors and good closet space, plus the main bedroom which is privately situated down the hall. The full bath, renovated in 2018, offers subway tile and extra-deep soaking tub with shower, and vanity with marble counter.The basement has added support beams, 2010 New Yorker boiler, 2015 main electrical panel, sump pit with pump and steps to the back patio. 30-yr architectural shingle roof 2016. Paved driveway. Oversized 1-car garage with room for workshop. Landscaped grounds for privacy and the enjoyment of the outdoors.
