About this home

***Offers due by Saturday at 7:00 PM***This one checks all of the boxes! Location is prime, set on a level half acre lot, in an absolutely perfect, quiet neighborhood, off the beaten path, yet just 2 minutes to all highways, shopping, and dining! This open concept split entry is a sprawling 50' long, and features beautiful teak wood floors, granite counter tops, a remodeled full bath, and the coziest, heated, 4 season sun room, you are just going to love! The lower level is finished w/ high ceilings, ample natural sunlight, and currently is laid out with a family room, full bath, and private office, but could potentially be converted to an in-law, or au-pair suite (town approval required). This home is in move in condition, and is ready for you to write it's next few chapters!
