About This Home

As of April 2024

Welcome to this spacious and inviting home and prepare to be impressed by the abundance of living space. As soon as you step inside the foyer, you're greeted by a sense of openness with generously sized rooms, most with hardwood floors. The sun-filled living room with a gas fireplace and crown molding opens to the spacious dining room and adjacent three-season room. The bright kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook and roomy pantry closet. Additionally, the first floor includes a large office with a closet that can easily double as a main floor bedroom, a full bath, and a welcoming family room perfect for gathering. Upstairs you'll find the generously sized primary bedroom with an en-suite bath and fabulous walk-in closet. The second floor also includes 3 additional large bedrooms, another full bath, and a convenient laundry room. The unfinished basement offers great storage and more possibilities. The charming three-season room leads to the attached two car garage. The roof, second floor furnace, and basement egress window are newer. There is a private, paver brick patio behind the home. This desirable Country Club location is on a lovely tree lined street and convenient to schools, parks, town and train.
