This exceptional Colonial seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern comforts, generous living spaces, and exceptional versatility. A welcoming two-story foyer sets the tone, flanked by a formal living room and dining room that celebrate the home’s traditional design and historical location. The living room opens to a beautiful sunroom filled with natural light, creating an inviting retreat for morning coffee or evening relaxation. At the heart of the home, a spacious family room flows into the open kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen features a large center island, additional counter seating overlooking the breakfast nook, and an expansive pantry with additional storage tucked beneath the stairs. Skylights fill the breakfast nook with natural light, creating a bright and inviting space to start the day. A home office, full bathroom, and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, two separate staircases provide convenient access to the private bedroom level; the grand, central staircase, as well as a convenient second staircase off the kitchen. The impressive primary suite offers a dedicated sitting area, a spacious dressing room, and a renovated en-suite bathroom featuring an oversized shower and private water closet. A second en-suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a full hall bathroom complete the upper level. The fully finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility, featuring a second living area with a full kitchen, expansive recreation room, dining area, full bathroom, and two additional legal bedrooms. Sliding glass doors connect the recreation room directly to the backyard, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless. Multiple storage rooms provide additional organizational space and potential for hobbies, crafts, or other uses. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a large deck overlooking the expansive yard. The fenced deck area provides convenient access to the yard, while a separate, fully fenced side yard offers additional flexibility for pets, play, or gardening. The backyard’s standout feature is a substantial shed/workshop, currently unfinished and offering exciting potential for a private home office, fitness studio, creative workspace, or personal retreat. With more than $340,000 invested in improvements since 2018 (see attached list of improvements in the documents), this distinctive Colonial offers an exceptional combination of classic charm, modern updates, abundant living space, and versatile indoor and outdoor areas. A truly special opportunity to enjoy a home designed for comfortable everyday living, effortless entertaining, and room to suit a variety of needs.
