About This Home
As of July 2024Prepare to be impressed by this stately and impeccably updated brick colonial that truly captures your attention as you approach. Situated on a beautifully landscaped nearly half-acre lot, you'll be struck by the colorful array of ever blossoming plants at every turn. The property has TWO garages with three spaces to park vehicles plus room for storage and a workshop. Step inside to find immaculate random-width hardwood floors that lend an air of timeless elegance. The large living room offers a newly updated fireplace and a wall of built-in shelves and bookcases. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, designed for both functionality and style. It features a breakfast bar, granite countertops, and newer stainless steel appliances. The beauty of this home is its versatility. The kitchen opens to an expanded rear addition which is currently used as a dining room. This bright and airy space could also function as a comfortable family room with views and access to the enchanting backyard. The traditional dining room space now serves as an office and homework room. The possibilities are endless. On the second level, you'll find three nice-sized bedrooms, including the primary suite, with a newly remodeled bathroom and two closets. The hall bathroom, accented with intricate glass tiles, has also been updated and you'll love the convenience of a second floor laundry room. But that's not all—head up to the third level to discover a spacious fourth bedroom with its own private bathroom with claw foot tub. The newly remodeled basement is a perfect spot for entertainment, with a billiard room and media room to enjoy movie nights or game days. Outside, the amenities continue with a new bluestone walkway and flagstone patio, covered side porch, fire pit and more. The current owners have made significant upgrades to the house over the last decade, including all new HVAC in 2020, remodeled bathrooms and laundry room, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new paint throughout, waterproofing and parging the utility room walls, and painting and pointing the exterior of the house, chimney and shutters.
