Property description

This isn't just a colonial home - it's a lifestyle property disguised as a 3-bedroom residence. Inside the Home: Nine thoughtfully designed rooms flow across 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The finished lower level adds versatility (home office, gym, teen retreat - you decide). But here's where it gets interesting: with minor modifications, you've got in-law suite potential for multi-generational living. The Real Show-Stopper: Step outside and prepare to cancel your vacation plans.The backyard isn't just landscaped - it's curated. Fruit trees offer seasonal harvests. Abundant plantings create year-round visual interest. The patio area features a stone fireplace for cool evenings, a soothing fountain, and built-in stone seating that whispers "stay awhile."A charming playhouse (perfect for little dreamers or Instagram-worthy garden storage). An outdoor cabana/workshop. Perfect for those seeking flexible living arrangements and Entertainers who need indoor comfort and outdoor wow-factor!
