About This Home

As of July 2020

This beautiful brick front colonial will feel like home from the moment you walk through the door. You will fall in love with the stunning 2 story foyer accented by a dramatic turned staircase that greets you as you enter and the gorgeous hardwood floors which flow throughout the first floor. To the right, a formal dining room with crown molding and chair rail waits to receive your dinner guests and to the left, a formal living room with crown molding will make an ideal location for conversation and after dinner tea. The eat-in kitchen stands ready for you to embrace your inner chef and boasts granite countertops, center island, recessed lighting and a breakfast area with vaulted ceiling that is a great place to set up appetizers when you entertain since it also offers a view of the sunken family room and its fireplace so you can still participate in the festivities while preparing dinner. The family room also features a sliding door to a striking brick patio that is sure to be the center piece of your summer barbeques. The second floor is equally well maintained and features a hall bath with dual vanity and tile floors and five nicely sized bedrooms, including a spacious owner's suite complete with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, sitting area and private bath with stall shower, soaking tub, dual vanity, skylight and tile floors. As if that were not enough, the home also features a finished basement with half bath which only adds to its already expansive living space and is laid out in such a way that it can accommodate multiple uses. Welcome home!
