Pride of ownership is reflected throughout this well-built Colonial with 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Thanks to generous scale and a smart floor plan, you’ll have 4,000+ sf of practical family living space with tons of storage, and quality upgrades like hardwood floors up and down. The kitchen, family room and large breakfast room share a blended open space with a fireplace, walls of windows for natural light, and sliders to the gorgeous patio. Off the kitchen is the large mudroom offering built-in oak cabinetry, storage closet, and half bath, all steps from the oversized garage for grocery to pantry convenience. In a wing of its own is a second master, or first floor In-law suite, with walk-in closet, bath with walk-in bathtub, and private living room with vaulted ceiling, or use as a media or music room. Five bedrooms upstairs include the newly remodeled master suite with walk-in closet and sunny, well-appointed bath with Jacuzzi tub. The tree-lined property delights with a private, level backyard with mature trees and perennial beds on 1.25 acres—the perfect backdrop for outdoor entertaining complete with bluestone patio, pergola, field stone bar and in-ground pool. The partially finished basement will make a perfect home gym or teen hang out. Numerous updates include radiant heat, a pellet stove, security system, new windows and roof, new septic, and newly painted exterior. Unbeatable value and location in a family neighborhood on a cul-de-sac and close to RSD13 schools.
