About this home

Come home to this lovingly cared for picturesque New England Style 4 bedroom 2 .5 bath Colonial located in the SOUGHT AFTER Robbins Park neighborhood. Enter through the attached 2 C garage to the generously sized mudroom with ample storage and W/D. Continue into the great room adorned with fireplace open to the updated kitchen designed with easy flow in mind. The dining room charmed with wainscoting and built in cabinet is accessible via the open passthrough or french door. Relax in the front to back livingroom with a 2nd fireplace down the hall past the 1/2 bath, or meander into the screened porch to enjoy the peaceful sounds and outdoor air. When it is time to retire, the central staircase brings you to 3 bedrooms with updated shared bath, and the primary bedroom with cedar closet and newer bath. From a new septic in 2022, newer roof, radon mitigation system, updates and many other features, this is a must visit home. Robbins Park residents may join the neighborhood pool!
