About this home
'An oasis in the city' doesn't do this wonderful property justice! Improved classic 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Colonial offers plenty of flexibility, and includes ample parking and an expansive 17,000+ SqFt landscaped lot that's been a labor of love, filled with flowering plants and shrubs. First fl granite/SS kit with plenty of counter/cabinet space, cozy fireplaced LR, formal DR, sunroom and spacious skylit cathedral ceiling family room that opens directly to a large rear deck, overlooking the yard. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath, the primary with walk-in closet. A full set of stairs leads to the attic. Below it all, a partially finished basement includes a bright, completely above ground in-law/studio with separate, stairless entry from the driveway. The yard includes a secluded hot tub, multiple areas for gardening and seating and rolling grassy slopes. Must see!
