About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this beautifully maintained brick colonial, ideally perched on a high lot in the desirable Grist Mill Farms neighborhood. With impeccable curb appeal, classic boxwood landscaping, and mountain views, this home radiates elegance from the moment you arrive. Step into the grand two-story foyer and be greeted by gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living areas. The formal living room, bathed in natural light, opens to a private side balcony—perfect for your morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or even a quiet cigar, all while enjoying serene mountain vistas. To the right, the formal dining room boasts chair rail detailing and is drenched in sunlight, creating the ideal setting for dinner parties or holiday gatherings. The eat-in kitchen is an entertainer’s dream with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, skylight, and charming bay window. Open sightlines to the spacious family room create a seamless connection between the kitchen and living areas, perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace, mix a drink at the wet bar, or step outside to the expansive back deck—perfect for summer BBQs and entertaining. The main level also features a convenient half bath, laundry/mudroom with garage access, and ample closet space. Upstairs, the generous primary suite welcomes you with French doors, double sliding closets, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with soaking tub, standing shower, and dual vanity. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms offer ceiling fans and large closets—one with built-in shelving, ideal for a home office. A full hall bath and spacious linen closet complete the upper level. The finished lower level provides endless versatility—host movie nights, set up a home gym, or create the ultimate rec space. Plus, a potential 5th bedroom and a 3rd full bath make this a great option for guests or multi-generational living. Enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard that’s perfect for both relaxing and hosting—there’s even room for a full moon bounce! A two-car garage, extra driveway parking, and unbeatable location minutes from Route 422, major commuter routes, shopping, and dining—this home truly has it all.
