About This Home

As of April 2019

Magnificently maintained five (5) bedroom, four and a half bath (4.1) custom colonial home in the desirable Cheshire Knoll neighborhood, situated on a beautifully, professionally landscaped corner lot with terrific front, side and rear yards. Featuring a brand new stone/vinyl siding exterior to the entire home, a dramatic floor plan with a grand entry foyer with curved staircase and 9 ft. ceilings throughout, an incredible open and spacious gourmet kitchen, formal living and dining room, first floor office or study. Guests are greeted to this immaculate home by the custom front stone walkway, a grand entryway with hardwood floors (featured throughout the home). The two-story foyer leads to a smartly decorated and fashionable formal living room with glass French doors. The foyer hallway leads to a fa room with a brick fireplace, entertainment center and large windows which fill the space with great natural light. Remodeled half bath features granite countertop. A back door then leads to the spacious rear deck for entertaining with stairs leading down to the custom stone patio with built-in stone fire pit and sitting wall and large backyard. The spacious gourmet kitchen features a large island, granite counter tops, custom large oak cabinets that surround the kitchen, a coffee bar and a large pantry. Just off the kitchen is a first-floor laundry with ample cabinet and closet space and wash tub, a side entry to the driveway, and then a tremendous extra room (20 x 30) with full bath that is suitable for an in-law or au pair suite, an additional playroom or place to learn. This room, like the entire home, provides plenty of storage and accessibility. Walking up the curved staircase with wainscoting, the expansive main bedroom with walk-in closets and main bath includes a whirlpool tub and shower. A luxury landing sitting area is just off the main bedroom. Three additional spacious rooms and another full bath complete the upstairs. The finished lower level provides a built-in entertainment center, and an additional beautifully appointed bedroom with full bath. Space abounds in the unfinished storage and utility area, providing plenty of storage and an area for a workshop. The entire home is nicely updated and provides new features like new windows, new doors, new Bosch dishwasher, new Samsung refrigerator, new water heater, Sani-Dry dehumidifier system, newer roof, newer gutters with gutter guards, new shutters, new exterior outdoor lighting, new landscape lights, and a newer stone patio with fireplace.
