As of July 2019Newly renovated, quietly elegant, sun-filled residence on one of the nicest lots in Birdland, just shy of an acre! A George Good built home on a low-traffic side street, this solid 2-story rose brick Colonial is situated at the top of a gently rolling landscape, nestled within beautiful flowering trees and shrubbery.

This thoughtfully designed home incorporates 2x6 construction, high ceilings, distinct living spaces, and numerous built-in refinements. The spacious living room presents a brick fireplace with dentil molding and brass sconces, while the great room has its own brick fireplace with built in wood storage bin. A main level den also serves as guest quarters, with an adjacent full bathroom, providing for a one-floor living arrangement. New hardwood floors highlight the upstairs, including 4 bedrooms and 2 updated full bathrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet with scuttle attic storage access. The lower level incorporates almost 1200 sq ft living space with an additional powder room, plus a cedar closet and unfinished storage space. An attached 2-car garage and driveway provide ample off-street parking. A quality home in a convenient and serene location. Make it yours today!
