About This Home

As of September 2024

Sophisticated colonial in the heart of Quarton Lake Estates. The home is exceptionally well laid out with large room sizes and great flow. The gourmet kitchen features new cabinets, a center island with reclaimed barn-wood accents, honed granite counters and a beautiful beveled subway tile back-splash. The attached eat-in area has a butlers pantry leading to the dining room. A sizable living room allows for grand entertaining while enjoying the fireplace. Throughout the first floor the hardwood floors were refinished to a lovely shade of dark brown. The master suite is unusually large for a home built in the 1930's, which includes the roomy master bath and the adjoining dressing room that could be converted into a big walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms are both suites and have their own attached bathrooms. Sunny large 4th bedroom. A covered rear porch is perfect for summertime gatherings. This home is in move-in condition and has wonderful curb appeal. Exclusions.
