As you step into this quintessential 1926 colonial, you are greeted by open space and an extra large living room that flows into a sweet separate alcove and a gracious formal dining room. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, newer appliances, and plenty of cabinetry plus a pantry for all your storage needs. The Family room off the kitchen boasts a vaulted ceiling, tons of natural light, and a mudroom area that exits to the large backyard with bluestone patio, oversized detached garage, plus fenced-in yard all backing up to 64.7 acres of woodland trails! Upstairs you will find all 4 generously-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an updated en-suite bathroom plus 2 large closets, making it a comfortable retreat. There is also a large walk-up attic accessible through one of the bedrooms that is ideal for storage and/or possible opportunity to finish for additional living space. The full basement is partially finished with a sizeable playroom/gym area plus ample storage. Updates to this gem include Hardie Plank siding, all-new windows, new paved driveway, newly finished hardwood floors, and more!
