About this home

Set on 1.38 acres of mature trees, gardens & natural landscaping, this well cared for 4-bedroom, 2½ bath Colonial offers space, setting & easy livability. With approximately 2,230 sqft, the home has generously sized rooms & an easy flow throughout the first floor. The kitchen & casual eating area open to a large family room centered around a fireplace. Glass atrium doors bring in plenty of light & open directly to the backyard & deck, easily extending living outdoors. The kitchen includes a 2023 refrigerator/freezer & new 2026 dishwasher. A wonderful south-facing sunroom off the dining room is a bright & inviting respite throughout the seasons. Filled with natural light, it is ideal for starting seedlings or creating a garden/greenhouse room. Water & natural gas hookups add possibilities, while a separate outside entrance provides easy access to the gardens. Southern exposure also offers passive solar warmth during cooler months. A mudroom/laundry entrance from the attached 2-car garage has a conveniently located half bath nearby. Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms with good closets, including a primary with 2 closets & private bath. The full unfinished basement offers plenty of space for storage, exercise, workshop, crafts or other projects. Outside, a well-maintained deck overlooks the expansive backyard, where established gardens, mature trees & natural plantings create a relaxed, park-like setting. Tucked into the backyard, the 12' x 24' insulated studio/workshop added in 2021 has electric service & the ability to heat & cool the space—ideal as a home office, art studio, workshop or quiet retreat. Significant improvements include custom Paradigm double-pane Low-E energy-efficient windows & cedar shake-style vinyl siding installed in 2012, complete septic system replacement in 2018 approved for up to 5 bedrooms & a new roof in 2025 with a 50-year warranty. The windows carry a 20-year transferable warranty. Well maintained, thoughtfully updated & surrounded by more than an acre of established landscape, this is a home with comfortable spaces, plenty of possibilities & a backyard that may just become your favorite room.
