About This Home

As of March 2026

Fabulous opportunity in prized Kenilworth Gardens! Sun-filled and beautifully updated, this gracious Colonial offers timeless charm paired with extensive recent improvements. A welcoming foyer flows into spacious formal and informal living areas, creating an easy, functional layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The bright living room, dining room, and sunny family room are complemented by a thoughtfully designed (2018 gut) kitchen that opens to the comfortable gathering spaces. A smashing newly renovated powder room completes. Upstairs, an updated (2018) full bathroom adds fresh style and functionality. A comfortable primary and two additional bedrooms round out the second floor. Throughout the home, you'll find new marble finishes, newer fixtures and newer interior doors that elevate the overall aesthetic. The 2020 entire basement gut rehab offers fantastic family gathering space with a large stylish gas fireplace enhancing the rec room. The lower level also boasts a new full bath and office (used as a guest room) with custom cabinets. A bright and functional laundry room and additional storage complete. Major mechanical and exterior upgrades provide peace of mind, including a newer 2+ car garage, new roof, gutters, and newer AC unit. Thoughtfully designed hardscapes (2024) featuring bluestone and brick pavers and an exterior built-in fire pit all create exceptional curb appeal and inviting outdoor spaces perfect for entertaining or relaxing. This meticulously improved home blends classic architecture with today's updates in an unbeatable Kenilworth Gardens location close to schools, parks, and everything the neighborhood has to offer. Look no further!
