Introduction

This move-in ready colonial is set back from the road behind a buffer of trees on a level lot to maximize privacy and appreciation of its sylvan yet still filled with plenty of natural light. A paved driveway welcomes visitors to this comfortable home set up for easy living in an upscale rural setting close to outdoor recreation areas and historic villages.

The interior features include a traditional, but flexible floor plan that flows well for day-to-day living while affording the spaces required for entertaining. Hardwood floors throughout most of the house and baseboard hot water heat are ideal for keeping dust and allergens to a minimum. Generous windows and recessed lighting throughout the first floor bring natural and supplemental light into the room. Beautiful warm-hued wooden trim and moldings underscore the appealing traditional colonial styling of the home.

First Level

The entrance foyer features a hardwood floor and coat closet, and connects to the dining room, living room, family room, and upper/lower levels of the home.

The living room is large enough for a primary and secondary seating area and features hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround is facing the front yard. It is currently used as a game/music room.

The large eat-in kitchen features wood cabinetry with stainless steel handles, gorgeous granite countertops, stainless steel undermount double sink with brushed nickel gooseneck faucet with removable sprayer.

The kitchen connects to the back hallway with access to the backyard, garage, mudroom/laundry room and a multipurpose room, currently used as an office. Tiled floor throughout this high-trafficked area makes it very easy to clean.

Second Level

The generously-sized master bedroom suite features a walk-in closet as well as a second double-door closet and en suite bathroom. The additional three secondary bedrooms are on the same level as the master bedroom suite and all of a strikingly generous size featuring hardwood floors as does the second floor hallway. The main renovated bathroom features a tiled tub/shower combination with a sliding door, beautiful pebble stone mosaic floor and a double vanity separated from the rest of the bathroom making it very convenient to be used by more than one person at the same time. A spacious wide, double-door linen closet completes this bathroom.

Lower Level

The partially finished basement offers two multipurpose, carpeted rooms and is currently used as a recreation room. The unfinished part of the basement features a workshop as well as a large storage area.
